Preparation Time

Total Time: 30 minutes

Step-by-Step Instruction

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, cooked chicken breast, sauerkraut, oat flour, eggs, chopped onion, and fresh greens. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit of water to reach the desired consistency.
  3. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over low heat. There's no need for oil, making these patties healthier and less greasy.
  4. Using a spoon, form small patty shapes from the mixture and place them directly onto the heated pan.
  5. Cook the patties on one side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side. Maintain a low heat to ensure thorough cooking without burning.
  6. While the patties are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a blender, combine half an avocado, plain yogurt, lemon juice, dill, parsley, spring onions, and a dash of soy sauce. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  7. Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them cool slightly on a plate.
  8. Serve the patties warm, drizzled with the freshly made sauce. Garnish with additional fresh greens if desired.
  9. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently before serving.
  10. Enjoy your meal with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
