Chicken patties with gorgonzola stuffing

Niall and I found a recipe for chicken patties and decided to alter it slightly to suit our taste – the result was a delicious lunch-time snack. The recipe mentioned that the blue cheese was optional. I would say it was a must!

I ate mine with a side salad and lemon wedges, while Niall had his in a burger with lettuce, sliced tomato, and mayo – you can decide how to eat yours..

Serves 3-4 people, with two patties each

Ingredients:

  • 5-6 chicken breasts, roughly chopped
  • 2-3 sprigs of rosemary, finely chopped
  • 100g slice of smoked pancetta or fatty bacon, finely diced
  • 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 75g Gorgonzola, chopped
  • A good pinch of black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying

You’ll also need: a food processor for mincing the chicken, and a tray with greaseproof paper

Method:

  1. Place the chicken in a food processor and blitz to mince the chicken
  2. Add some olive oil to the frying pan, place over a low heat, and sweat the onion and garlic
  3. When the onion has become translucent, add the pancetta, black pepper, and rosemary, cooking the pancetta until it has coloured
  4. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool
  5. In a bowl, mix the chicken and the mixture thoroughly
  6. Take a heaped tablespoon of the mixture and lightly press together to form a ball – then make a depression in the ball with your fingers
  7. Place some of the chopped blue cheese in the hollow
  8. Take another tablespoon of the mixture and place on top
  9. Take care the seal the edges of the mixture so no cheese can escape – then lightly slap the top and bottom of the patty until you have a burger-shape
  10. Place the patty on a tray with greaseproof paper and repeat the process until all of the mixture has been used – and place the tray in the fridge for 30 minutes
  11. Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees
  12. Add some olive oil to the frying pan and place over a medium heat – add the patties, two at a time, cooking them until the top and bottom have browned nicely – and place the browned patties onto a separate plate
  13. When all of the patties have been fried, place them in the oven for 10 minutes or so to finish cooking

Enjoy
