Step-by-step preparation:
Prepare the chicken
Dice the chicken breast into small pieces. In a pan, fry the chicken with chopped onion until browned. Add garlic cloves and seasonings (chicken seasoning, coriander, pepper, salt, white broth) and mix well.
Cook the chard
Boil the Swiss chard leaves in water, then drain and squeeze out excess water thoroughly. You can also sauté them briefly with a little oil if preferred.
Make the mixture
Combine the cooked chicken with the chard. Add crushed garlic and the same mix of seasonings used before (chicken seasoning, coriander, pepper, salt). Mix all ingredients together thoroughly.
Shape the patties
Shape the mixture into small fingers or patties as desired. Coat them lightly in flour to help with shaping.
Fry the patties
In a deep pan over medium heat, fry the patties until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the sauce
In the same pan, add a small amount of water or broth to create a sauce. Place the fried patties in the sauce and let them simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to absorb the sauce and allow it to thicken.
Serve
Serve the patties hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Can be accompanied with lemon wedges.
