Method

Preparation: rinse the chicken¹ fillet and cut into small cubes about 0.5 cm; combine the chicken with egg, sour⁴ cream, flour, dill⁵, salt and pepper; mix until uniform and let stand for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil; shape the mince into patties about 6 cm in diameter and 1 cm thick, gently press the edges.
Fry the patties over medium heat for 3–4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and they are cooked through; flip only once.
Meanwhile, prepare the salad: slice the cucumbers⁶ into 0.5 cm rounds; salt and toss with finely chopped dill⁵.
Remove the cooked patties from the heat and let rest under a lid for a minute; if desired, spread a small amount of sour⁴ cream on top.
To serve: place the patties on a plate, arrange the cucumber⁶-dill⁵ salad beside them; serve immediately with your favorite side.

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”.
