Ingredients
- Chicken fillet
- Mushrooms
- 1 tomato
- Grated cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp flour
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic
Instructions
- Finely dice the chicken and tomato.
- Dice the mushrooms and sauté on a non-stick skillet without oil over medium-low heat, stirring, for 7-8 minutes until the moisture evaporates.
- Combine the chicken, tomato, grated cheese, egg, flour, cooled mushrooms, salt, pepper, and spices.
- Spoon onto an oiled hot skillet. Fry 4-5 minutes on one side over slightly above medium heat, flip, reduce to minimum, cover, and cook 5-6 minutes more.
Tips
Let the mushrooms cool before mixing so the egg does not set early, and keep the patties the same size so they cook evenly. If you love patty-style dinners, try the Steamed Chicken Patties with Herbs and the Juicy Turkey Patties with Cheese Sauce next. For another cheesy chicken favorite, see the Breaded Chicken with Mushroom Cheese Sauce. For general guidance on cooking chicken safely, see Allrecipes.
Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the patties will steam instead of browning. A light squeeze of lemon or a spoonful of yogurt sauce brightens the rich, cheesy flavor.
