Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil, extra virgin
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands until they are well incorporated.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, ensuring they are not too thick for even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once hot, place the chicken patties in the skillet, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the herb cream sauce. In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh dill, fresh chives, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Stir the sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Once the chicken patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the chicken patties hot with a generous dollop of the herb cream sauce on top.
Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Chicken Patty with Herb Cream Sauce.
