Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 50 grams almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken patties to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt.
Add heavy cream to the skillet, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate them into the sauce.
Stir in fresh parsley, fresh thyme, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese into the cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the cheese is melted, about 5-6 minutes.
Return the chicken patties to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve the chicken patties hot, coated with the creamy herb sauce. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
