Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken Patties:
    1. In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
    2. Form the mixture into 4-5 oval-shaped patties.
    Cook the Patties:
    3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    4. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
    5. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
    Make the Gravy:
    6. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms (if using), onions, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
    7. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    8. Slowly whisk in broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
    Combine and Serve:
    9. Return the chicken patties to the skillet, spooning some gravy over them. Simmer for 5 more minutes until everything is heated through.
    10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
