These Chicken and Mushroom Patties, known as Kotlety in Polish cuisine, are flavorful and easy to make. Ground chicken is combined with sautéed mushrooms, onion, and breadcrumbs to create delicious patties that are perfect as a main dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Patties:

  • 1 lb ground chicken (chicken thighs work best, trimmed of excess fat)
  • 1 lb button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, grated (large holes)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup flour (for dredging)

For Cooking:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing mushrooms, plus more for frying patties)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Sauté the sliced mushrooms over medium-high heat until softened and lightly browned. Once cooked, mince the mushrooms finely using a food processor or meat grinder. Alternatively, chop them finely by hand.
  2. Make the patty mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped mushrooms, grated onion, eggs, Panko bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the patties: Place about a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into the flour. Dredge the mixture on both sides and then shape into oval patties. If making sliders, shape them into smaller round patties.
  4. Fry the patties: Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties. Cover and cook for about 4 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Wipe the skillet with a paper towel between batches and add more oil as needed.
  5. Serve: Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
