• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

For the Creamy Mushroom Sauce:

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Patties

1. Boil the Potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with shredded chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
3. Shape the Patties: Form the mixture into round, flat patties, about ½-inch thick.
4. Fry the Patties: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each patty for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Mushroom Sauce

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
2. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they soften and release their moisture.
3. Simmer the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and thyme. Stir well and let the sauce thicken for about 5 minutes.
4. Final Touch: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble and Serve

1. Arrange the patties on a serving plate.
2. Generously pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the patties or serve it on the side.
3. Garnish with extra parsley or thyme for a fresh touch.
4. Serve warm with a side of salad, rice, or roasted vegetables.
