Ingredients

• 500 grams ground chicken breast
• 60 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg white
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 120 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken breast, whole wheat breadcrumbs, egg white, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each portion into a patty roughly 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 5 to 6 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to low and add the low-fat Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Stirring constantly, cook until the sauce warms through, but do not let it boil.

Step 5

Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely. Add them to the sauce and stir well to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, if desired.

Step 6

Serve the chicken patties drizzled with the herb cream sauce. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
