Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes.

  2. Step 2

    Put cubes in a food processor or an electric blender and blend thoroughly. Scrape chicken into a mixing bowl and add ½ cup bread crumbs, ¼ cup chicken broth, cream, cumin, onion, salt and pepper. Use fingers to blend well.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon remaining cup of bread crumbs onto a flat surface. Divide chicken mixture into four portions; shape each into a ball and roll ball in bread crumbs. Flatten each ball into a round patty about ¾ inch thick.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Add patties and cook over medium-low heat about 5 minutes or until nicely browned on one side. Turn patties and cook about 5 minutes. Transfer to a warm platter.

  5. Step 5

    Heat 2 tablespoons butter in small saucepan and add remaining broth. Bring to boil, stirring with wire whisk, and cook until reduced by half. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, stirring with whisk.

  6. Step 6

    Stir in chives and pour sauce over the burgers

I made this in the 80's, when I cut out this recipe from the 60 minute Gourmet. Even with my feeble attempt, it was a memorable meal that my friend, who I shared(experimented) it, with wanted to make it, many times afterward. It is one of the truly simple recipes that will not only show you how to cook, but empower you to make decisions on what to season with. M. Franey was a very accomplished chef.

Delicious! Did not make the sauce since watching what I eat right now. Everyone loved. Makes a nice substantial burger, very juicy. Could have used more salt. At least a teaspoon!

Was skeptical but these were so good! Made per instructions, chose to use peanut oil.
