Interesting and I would say unusual recipe: chopped chicken meat patties baked in garlicky cream cheese sauce. Great choice for romantic or family dinner.
I used chicken thighs meat for this recipe, it seem juicier and tasty to me, but breast meat will work as well. As for cheese, it is italian cheese blend, but if you like something else – it would probably work too.
If meat mince consistency is watery, forming patties may get tricky, just use two spoon to ladle and shape them, otherwise use hands.
Ingredients:
- 2lb of boneless skinless chicken meat
- 1 big onion
- 1-2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup of shredded cheese of your choice
- 1.5 cups of heavy cream
- 4 garlic cloves
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
How to prepare, step-by-step:
- Prepare ingredients: rinse chicken meat in cold water, pat it dry with paper towels; peel onion and garlic cloves:
- Clean chicken meat, using sharp knife dice each piece finely:
- Move diced meat to a mixing bowl:
- Chop onion either with the knife or food processor, add it to the bowl:
- Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, mix:
- Beat eggs into strong foam:
- Pour eggs to the bowl:
- Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese:
- Mix everything well:
- Warm up oven to 355F. Smear baking pan with a bit of heavy cream. If meat mince consistency is water using two spoons otherwise use hands to form round patties and arrange them in the pan next to each other (you may end up using two pans, like I sometimes do):
- Put pan to warmed up oven for 10-15 mins. And let’s prepare sauce: put remaining shredded cheese to a mixing bowl:
- Press all garlic cloves in:
- Pour remaining cream in and mix:
- After patties were baking for 10-15 mins, take pan out (keep the heat on), using a spoon pour cheese and cream mixture over each patty, and put pan back to the oven for 15-20 mins more to finish up:
- Serve patties with suitable side dish, pour sauce over if suitable:
