I learned, recently, from my comadre, Paty, how to make a very simple, and very tasty, dish for a quick dinner, and am passing it on to anyone that is tired of eating the same old same old. It is a simple chicken patty. Our Paty cooked a whole chicken, in her new Instant Pot, under pressure, for about 20 minutes. She manually released the steam, let it cool enough to handle, then shredded it. To the bowl of shredded chicken, she added 2 tbs. of AP flour, 3 eggs, a couple of turns of the pepper grinder, and mixed it all together, quite thoroughly. Meanwhile, she heated about 2 tbs. of oil in a frying pan, and when it was hot enough, she used a largish soup spoon, and placed a spoonful of said chicken mixture into the frying pan. After about a minute and a half, she flipped them over, and cooked them for another minute or two. When they were set completely, she slipped them into a bath of fresh, homemade salsa verde! (I am quite sure they are enjoying the salsa verde bath as much as we will enjoy eating it later this afternoon). As a side dish, she made a simple white rice with diced carrots added, not only for color, and nutrition, but also flavor. A very colorful dinner is in our immediate future. Thank you Paty, for teaching me this simple dish. P.S.- Paty just called us to the table to eat. Nirvana!
Simple dish, quick, and very tasty.
