Juicy chicken patties blended with fresh vegetables, baked until golden, and served with creamy potato mash and tangy tomato sauce.

Ingredients

For the vegetable chicken mix

• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• A handful of fresh parsley
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 3 chicken fillets (600–700 g / 1.3–1.5 lb), cut into chunks
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 egg (for binding)
• ½ cup breadcrumbs

For the creamy potato mash

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tbsp butter
• ½ cup warm milk
• Salt & pepper to taste

For the tomato sauce

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (400 g) crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp sugar
• Salt, pepper, and oregano to taste

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Prepare patties: Blend onion, parsley, peppers, and garlic in a food processor. Add chicken chunks, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Pulse until combined but slightly chunky.
2. Shape & bake: Form mixture into patties. Place on a parchment-lined tray. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
3. Make mash: Boil potatoes until tender. Drain, mash with butter and warm milk. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Cook sauce: Heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté garlic, add crushed tomatoes, sugar, and seasonings. Simmer 10–15 minutes until thickened.
5. Serve: Plate patties with creamy mash and spoon tomato sauce over the top.

Tips

• Extra flavor: Add grated Parmesan to the chicken mix.
• Healthier option: Use whole-wheat breadcrumbs.
• Meal prep: Freeze patties before baking for quick future meals.
