Ingredients

• 500 grams ground chicken
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters milk
• 125 milliliters cream
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and keep them warm on a plate covered with foil.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Add the flour and stir consistently to form a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes until the roux is a light golden color.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk to the skillet, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Once smooth, pour in the cream and whisk again until well combined.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the chopped parsley, dill, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning if necessary with more salt and pepper.

Step 7

Serve the chicken patties hot with the herb cream sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
