Chicken Patties – The Best Recipe

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 14:51:57 +0000

These Chicken Patties are a versatile and delicious dish, that is easy to prepare and perfect for any time of the day. For these patties, I use ground chicken meat but ground turkey will be as good. I like to season them with a blend of spices and herbs to create a savory and satisfying flavor. To enhance the texture and taste I like to combine the chicken with breadcrumbs, onions, garlic and vegetables like carrots or potatoes.

We like to shape the mixture into round, flat discs and cook them in various ways, including pan-frying or baking. As a leaner alternative to beef patties, these chicken patties provide a healthier choice for those mindful of their dietary intake.

You can serve chicken patties in multiple ways, as a classic sandwich on a bun with lettuce and tomatoes, in a wrap, as a protein-rich topping for salads, or as an appetizer alongside your favorite dipping sauces.

These chicken patties will surely become a family favorite and a staple in many households.

How to make chicken patties

To make these delicious chicken patties, begin by placing ground meat into a large bowl and adding finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, two eggs, grated potato and carrot, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Next, mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to ensure the patties stay tender.

How to pan-fry chicken patties

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Take spoonfuls of the chicken mixture, flatten them slightly, and transfer to the hot skillet. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. Transfer the patties to paper towels to drain any excess oil.

How to bake chicken patties

For baking, preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the patties on the lined baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the patties are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Serve these versatile chicken patties as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or pair them with your preferred side dishes for a complete meal. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.

Easy Meatball Soup

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 17:17:18 +0000

Savor the hearty goodness of our flavorful Meatball Soup. Made with tender meatballs and fresh vegetables, it’s a comforting dish perfect for chilly days or whenever you crave a comforting meal. This soup holds a special place in our family’s culinary traditions and is a cherished dish in many European countries.

Picture succulent meatballs, made from your choice of meat, either chicken, turkey, pork, or beef, gently simmered in a rich, aromatic broth alongside tender chunks of potatoes and an array of vibrant vegetables.

Each spoonful is a blend of savory flavors, enhanced by hints of herbs and spices. We love to use fresh lovage for this soup for its incredible flavor, although fresh parsley or celery leaves can serve as suitable alternatives.

What truly sets our meatball soup apart is its creamy richness, achieved by adding sour cream mixed with egg yolk just before finishing the soup, making every bite extra satisfying. Served hot with crusty bread, it’s a meal that fills you up and feels like a warm hug.

Whether it’s a cozy night in or a quick lunch, our meatball soup is a tasty choice that everyone will love. So, grab a bowl and enjoy the comforting taste of homemade goodness.

How to make meatball soup

Begin by heating oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it becomes softened. Stir in the carrots and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then, add the celery root, garlic, and red pepper, and cook for another minute.

Pour in the vegetable stock or water, adding chili pepper if desired, along with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the vegetables to cook for roughly 20 minutes until they reach a tender consistency.

While the soup is simmering, prepare the meatballs. In a medium bowl, combine the ground meat, semolina flour, egg, uncooked rice, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. Shape the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls using a cookie scoop and wet hands, then place them on a plate.

Carefully transfer the meatballs to the simmering soup along with the potatoes. Allow the soup to return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the meatballs are fully cooked.

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, egg yolk, and minced garlic. Add 2 ladles of hot soup to the mixture, stirring well, then return it to the pot. Let it boil for 1 minute before finishing with fresh herbs such as lovage or parsley, as well as salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the soup from heat and serve it hot alongside crusty bread.

Hope you will give this soup a try as I am sure everybody will be delighted. If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy your comforting meal!

Toasted Orzo with Chicken

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Sat, 03 Feb 2024 13:10:21 +0000

This Toasted Orzo with Chicken is a mouthwatering dish you can easily prepare for lunch or dinner. It brings together the nutty goodness of toasted orzo pasta with perfectly seasoned, tender chicken pieces, making a dish that’s both comforting and full of flavor.

First, we toast the orzo to perfection, giving it a delightful crunch that goes well with the tender chicken. Then, wee cook the chicken until it’s juicy and tasty. The orzo is then simmered together with a blend of aromatic herbs and vegetables, adding a burst of savory goodness.

Whether it’s a cozy dinner or a special gathering, our Toasted Orzo with Chicken is a simple yet elevated meal that everybody will love.

What is orzo

Orzo is a type of pasta that is shaped like small rice grains. Despite its rice-like appearance, orzo is made from wheat semolina or white flour, similar to traditional pasta. It is commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines and can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and salads to main courses.

How to cook orzo

Cooking orzo is simple and similar to cooking other types of pasta. Boil a pot of salted water, toss in the orzo, and stir to avoid sticking. Let it cook for around 8-10 minutes until it’s tender. Taste to check if it’s done, then drain the orzo in a colander. If you want it to cool quickly or plan to use it in a salad, give it a rinse under cold water. Your orzo is ready to shine in various dishes, hot or cold, your choice.

If you want to use toasted orzo in your recipes, first heat a bit of olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the orzo. Toast it for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown. This step enhances the nutty flavor of the orzo. From here add the water or vegetable stock and continue cooking until tender.

How to make this Toasted Orzo with Chicken

Begin by cutting the chicken into long strips. Season both sides with salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Set aside.

Next, toast the orzo by heating olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the orzo pasta, stirring constantly, and toast for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown. Transfer the toasted orzo to a bowl and set aside.

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the seasoned chicken in the pan and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side until it achieves a golden brown color. Ensure the chicken is cooked through, then transfer it to a plate.

Add chopped onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until it softens. Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Toss in red pepper and cook for an extra minute.

Stir in tomato puree, dry oregano, basil and chili flakes if used, cooking for 2 more minutes while stirring constantly. Add the toasted orzo and pour in vegetable or chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the orzo to become tender and the liquid to be almost absorbed. Arrange the cooked chicken on top of the orzo and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, then savor this delightful dish alongside a fresh salad.

How to make Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Start by preparing the pasta. Cook it in salted water following the package instructions until it’s al-dente. Once ready, drain the pasta, but remember to save a cup of pasta water for later use.

Next, it’s time to prepare the chicken. Take the chicken breast and pound it to an even thickness of about ½-inch (1cm). Season both sides of the chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and add the seasoned chicken. Cook it for around 4-6 minutes on each side until it turns a golden brown and check if it’s thoroughly cooked. Let it rest for about 5 minutes while you prepare the sauce.

Now, prepare the Alfredo sauce. In the same skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat and add the garlic. After a few seconds, while scraping the skillet’s bottom, pour in the cream and add dried basil and oregano. Allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese is completely melted.

Add the cooked fettuccine pasta directly into the sauce and toss it all together to coat the noodles evenly. If needed, add the reserved pasta water gradually until you achieve your desired consistency for the sauce.

To finish off, cut the cooked chicken into slices and arrange them beautifully on top of the pasta. Sprinkle some more grated Parmesan and add fresh parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Now, the moment you’ve been waiting for – enjoy your Chicken Alfredo Pasta immediately! Savor the creamy goodness and the delightful combination of flavors.

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 13:05:23 +0000

The fusilli pasta provides a delightful chewiness and serves as the hearty foundation of the dish. The pasta acts as the perfect canvas to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients, creating a harmonious blend.

The bread croutons are toasted to perfection, resulting in a satisfying crunch that complements the other ingredients.

The crisp romaine lettuce add a nice crunch to the dish. The salad is then generously dressed with a creamy Caesar dressing, which complements the ingredients with its rich and tangy flavor.

As you take a bite, the combination of the creamy dressing, tender chicken, al dente pasta, and crisp vegetables, along with the satisfying crunch of the croutons, creates a truly delightful dining experience.

How to make Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

Start by preparing the croutons, then prepare the chicken, boil the pasta, cut the lettuce and then prepare the dressing.

How to make the bread croutons

Dirst, mix oil with garlic in a bowl and set it aside for a few minutes to infuse.

Next, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the bread into bite-size cubes, approximately ¾-inch (2cm) pieces.

After that, sieve the infused oil into a large bowl, add salt and pepper to taste, and incorporate grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine.

Then, place the cubed bread into the bowl and toss it to coat evenly.

Arrange the bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer and place them in the oven.

Bake for approximately 5 minutes, then flip and toss them with a spatula. Continue baking for another 5 minutes until the bread croutons turn golden brown.

How to prepare the chicken

Now, prepare the chicken by pounding the chicken breast to an even thickness of about ½-inch (1cm). Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken to the pan and cook it for about 4-6 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes until it becomes golden brown. Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking its internal temperature. It should be at least 165°F (74°C).

Afterward, set the cooked chicken aside to rest for approximately 5 minutes. Once rested, cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the pasta and the romaine lettuce

Moving on to the pasta, cook it in salted water according to the package instructions. Drain the cooked pasta and rinse it under cold water.

To prepare the lettuce, cut the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Wash and dry it before assembling the salad.

How to prepare the Caesar dressing

In a medium bowl, place anchovy fillets, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Use two forks to turn the ingredients into a paste. Add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice to the bowl and stir to combine.

Then, incorporate the egg yolk using a whisk. Gradually add the olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. The dressing will start to thicken.

Finally, add Parmesan cheese to the dressing and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.

Assemble the Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad.

Place the lettuce, pasta, bread croutons, and chicken into a large bowl. Toss the ingredients with the dressing until they are well coated.

Finish off the salad by topping it with Parmesan shavings.

Whether enjoyed as a light lunch, a main course, or a side dish, the Chicken Pasta Caesar Salad is a versatile and satisfying meal that is sure to please.

Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken and Roasted Veggies

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 12:40:43 +0000

This Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken and Roasted Veggies is a great idea for an easy one-pan quick dinner. This flavorful chicken is coated in honey, chili, and BBQ sauce and baked until tender alongside some perfectly roasted mixed potatoes and broccoli.

This sweet chili glaze is amazing. I love to use it over chicken as in this BBQ Chicken Wings recipe.

For this sheet pan, I use both regular and sweet potatoes. They are bursting with flavor due to the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, and herbs coating. The breadcrumbs make the potatoes crispier and I usually like to add a bit of breadcrumb to my potato recipes.

I have used broccoli this time for my BBQ Chicken Sheet Pan but feel free to use any other veggies that suit your tastes better. Brussels Sprouts, cauliflower, green beans, or asparagus are great choices for sheet pans.

This meal is quick and effortless to prepare, making it a great weeknight dinner option. Serve with a side of rice or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.

Hope you will try this easy Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken and Roasted Veggies, and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram if you do. Would love to see how it turned out for you. Enjoy as we sure did.
