Step-by-Step Instruction

Finely slice the chicken fillet into small pieces.

Mince the garlic cloves and add to the chicken mixture.
Crack the eggs into the mixture and stir well.
Add in the flour, combining it thoroughly with the chicken and other ingredients.
Stir in the mayonnaise for a creamy consistency.

Mix all ingredients together until fully integrated.
Heat a pan on medium heat, adding a light drizzle of oil.
Shape the mixture into small patties or cutlets.

Garnish with additional herbs if desired for an appealing presentation.
