Chicken Patties
- 900 g ground chicken
- 100 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 60 g panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 60 ml whole milk
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 45 g unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- Pinch of fine salt
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, 100 g grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic cloves, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried parsley, fine salt, ground black pepper, and whole milk. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a round patty, about 1.5 cm thick. This ensures even cooking and a consistent size for serving.
- Cook the patties: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease if needed. Add the chicken patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
- Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Combine cheese and herbs: Add 25 g grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped parsley, and a pinch of fine salt to the butter and garlic mixture. Stir well to create a rich, flavorful sauce.
- Serve: Return the cooked chicken patties to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter sauce over them. Let them warm in the sauce for a minute before serving hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the ground chicken is fresh or properly thawed if frozen for best texture and flavor.
- Panko breadcrumbs provide a lighter, crispier texture compared to regular breadcrumbs.
- Do not overmix the chicken mixture to avoid dense patties.
- Cooking time may vary based on patty thickness; always check internal temperature.
- Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
