Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs, unsalted
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, egg, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a round patty. Ensure they are tightly packed.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken patties and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add unsalted butter and melt over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in low sodium chicken broth and continue to stir until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and pour in heavy cream. Stir gently to combine, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add lemon juice, fresh parsley, and thyme to the skillet, stirring them into the sauce. Adjust seasoning with black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Return the chicken patties to the skillet, spooning the herb cream sauce over them. Allow them to warm through for about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the chicken patties hot, smothered in the herb cream sauce. Pair with your choice of side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
