In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, egg, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a round patty. Ensure they are tightly packed.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken patties and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add unsalted butter and melt over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in low sodium chicken broth and continue to stir until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in heavy cream. Stir gently to combine, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Add lemon juice, fresh parsley, and thyme to the skillet, stirring them into the sauce. Adjust seasoning with black pepper to taste.
Return the chicken patties to the skillet, spooning the herb cream sauce over them. Allow them to warm through for about 2 minutes.
Serve the chicken patties hot, smothered in the herb cream sauce. Pair with your choice of side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
