"Mum,they're divine"...These words are pure music to a mother's ears when she has just given her love and time in preparing a new recipe, that ticked all the other boxes in that it was cheap to make and relatively healthy.When my daughter uttered these words when I made these Honey Soy Chicken Patties I was rapt, there's a lot of recipes that I try out on the kids and they enjoy them, but usually my ultimate gauge of whether the meal was a winner is whether they come back for seconds. However, an unsolicited remark straight after the first mouthful such as this has really raised the bar for me on how to tell if the dish is really good, or simply "divine".
HONEY SOY CHICKEN PATTIES
500g Chicken Breast, chopped
1 teasp. crushed Garlic
1 Onion, finely diced
1 T Soy Sauce
1 cup fresh Breadcrumbs
2 T Honey
2 T Sour Cream
2 Chicken Stock Cubes, crumbled
1 T finely chopped Parsley
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.Place chopped chicken into a food
processor. Process until minced. Add other ingredients and pulse until well
combined. Divide mix into 8 portions, shape into patties.
2. Line a tray with baking paper. Put patties on tray, spray with olive oil.
3. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through, turning halfway through
cooking. serve with a crisp green salad and oven baked wedges. Drizzle
Drizzle with mayonnaise and season with black pepper to serve.
COOKING HINTS FROM VON:-
* If you haven't any chicken breast you can substitute with chicken mince.
*Why not double the recipe and wrap half the mixture in individual patties
prior to cooking and freeze until required, then follow steps 2-3. Great for
nights when you don't feel like cooking but don't want to opt for takeaway yet
feel like a home cooked meal.
Made these a few weeks ago and they were fantastic. We had them with mashed sweet potato (the orange ones) and the flavours complemented each other beautifully - really yummy dish!
