For the Patties:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil for pan-searing
For the Gravy:
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch for slurry
- 1 tbsp water for slurry
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp Dijon mustard or soy sauce for added depth
Prepare the Patties:
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Gently mix with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal oval patties, about 1 inch thick.
Cook the Patties:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties and pan-sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Once browned, remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Gravy:
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and browned.
Add the beef broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the patties.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet while stirring.
Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and optional Dijon mustard or soy sauce for extra flavor.
Simmer the Patties in Gravy:
Return the browned chicken patties to the skillet, making sure they are fully submerged in the gravy.
Simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and tender, absorbing the flavors of the gravy.
Serve:
Plate the patties and pour the mushroom gravy over the top.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or green beans for a complete meal.
