Method
Rinse the chicken1 breast, pat dry, and cut into 0.5 cm cubes. Mix with egg, sour4 cream, flour, half the dill5, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Shape the mixture into 6 cm diameter, 1 cm thick patties using damp hands or a spoon.
Pan-fry the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through (no pink inside, juices clear). Cover and rest for 1 minute.
While the patties cook, slice cucumbers6 into 0.5 cm thick rounds and tomatoes7 into wedges.
Season the vegetables with salt, add the remaining finely chopped dill5, and toss.
Serve the patties on a plate with the salad alongside.
Tips
- Why it works
- Rest the patties under a lid to keep them juicy. Overcooking after flipping dries them out. Look for steam when you lift the lid.
- Substitutions
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream (same amount) for a tangier taste. Skip dill and use parsley if needed.
- Common mistakes
- Burnt edges mean the heat is too high; patties should sizzle gently, not smoke. Check after 2 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or refrigerate for 1 day; reheat in a dry pan for 2 minutes per side. Freeze patties only if cooked first.
- Serve with
- Pair with sliced tomatoes and warm pita bread for a quick, balanced lunch.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
