Chicken and Mushroom Patties (Kotlety)
Description
This recipe combines ground chicken with mushrooms that have been cooked and finely minced, plus grated raw onion, eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. The mixture is seasoned with salt and black pepper. Formed into patties and dredged lightly in flour, the patties are pan-fried in olive oil over medium-high heat until browned on both sides. Cooking under a cover helps them cook evenly.
The inclusion of mushrooms adds earthiness and juiciness, preventing the chicken patties from drying out. The breadcrumb and egg binders keep the patties together with a tender texture. The flour dredge creates a light crust during frying.
These patties can be served warm alongside vegetables or in slider buns. They are convenient for versatile meals, offering a blend of poultry and mushroom flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken I ground my own chicken thighs; trimmed of extra fat
- 1 lb button mushroom sliced, or cremini mushrooms
- 1 onion small, grated on the large holes
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp olive oil for mushrooms and saute patties
- 1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste, 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste, 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup flour for dredging the meatballs
Instructions
- Saute mushrooms over med/high heat until softened and lightly browned, then mince them in a food processor or put them through the meat grinder. You can also finely chop cooked mushrooms by hand if you're feeling adventurous.
- In a large bowl, combine: 1 lb ground chicken, your cooked & finely chopped mushrooms, grated onion, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup bread crumbs and 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste).
- Place about a heaping Tablespoon of the mixture at a time into the flour, then I dredged it on both sides and used my hands to create oval patties, tapping off excess flour. If you're making sliders, make them round like mini burgers.
- Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a nonstick skillet. Once oil is hot, add the fritters. Cover and cook until golden on both sides. Cook about 4 minutes on the first side and 2-3 minutes on the next. Wipe your skillet with a paper towel between batches and add more oil as needed. Remove to a plate and serve warm.
