Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Patties:

  • 1 pound ground chicken (can substitute ground turkey)
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crispiness)
  • 1 egg , lightly beaten
  • 1 small onion , finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking

For the Mushroom Gravy:

  • 8 ounces mushrooms , sliced (cremini or button work well)
  • 1 onion , thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Patties
    In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—overmixing can make your patties tough! Form the mixture into 4-6 oval patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Pro tip: Slightly wet your hands to prevent the mixture from sticking while forming patties.
    Step 2: Cook the Patties
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Transfer the patties to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. A cast-iron skillet works wonderfully here, creating that perfect golden crust that seals in juices!
    Step 3: Prepare the Mushroom Gravy
    In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and onions. Cook for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms are golden and onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
    Step 4: Finish the Gravy
    Gradually whisk in chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens. Add dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. For a silkier gravy texture, let it simmer an additional 2 minutes while stirring occasionally.
    Step 5: Combine and Serve
    Return the chicken patties to the skillet, spooning some gravy over each patty. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Your quick and delicious salisbury steak recipe with ground chicken is ready to serve!
