Finely chop the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Alternatively, you can pulse them in a food processor for a finer texture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture softens and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cooked mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, and dried dill or parsley. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Cover the mixture and let it rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and makes the mixture easier to shape.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into oval or round patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Dredge each patty lightly in flour, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Place the cooked patties on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or a green salad. Enjoy!
