Ingredients
For the Chicken Patties:
• 1 lb ground chicken
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
For the Gravy:
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tbsp flour
• 2 cups beef or chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Patties: In a bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
4. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions and mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes.
5. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Slowly add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened.
7. Return the chicken patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy over them, and let them simmer for 5 minutes until fully cooked.
8. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
• Use ground turkey as an alternative to ground chicken.
• For a richer gravy, use heavy cream or half-and-half.
• Serve with roasted vegetables or buttered noodles for a complete meal.
