✔ In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes, ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
✔ Stir in chopped parsley for extra flavor.
✔ Shape into small patties (about the size of your palm).
✅ If the mixture is too sticky, add extra breadcrumbs!
2️⃣ Cook the Patties
✔ Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat.
✔ Fry patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

3️⃣ Make the Creamy Mushroom Sauce
✔ In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic & mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until soft.
✔ Pour in chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan.
✔ Add heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper and let simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
✔ Stir in Parmesan cheese for extra richness (optional).
✅ For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch + 2 teaspoons water).
4️⃣ Assemble & Serve!
✔ Place patties on a plate and pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the top.
✔ Garnish with extra parsley or grated Parmesan.
✔ Serve with steamed veggies, mashed potatoes, or rice.
✅ Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture!
