Say goodbye to bland and hello to these delightfully flavorful chicken breast patties. Tender chunks of chicken breast are blended with a dollop of mayonnaise, a beaten egg, a dash of thyme, and just the right amount of salt and black pepper to create moist, richly flavored patties. Lightly dusted with flour, they’re then pan-fried until golden and crispy on the outside, while staying juicy within.
Perfect when served with creamy mashed potatoes, a fresh garden salad, or even a simple side of rice. Quick, satisfying, and fuss-free—this Romanian-inspired dish is a game-changer for family dinners or casual meals with friends.
