Chicken and Chicken

Chicken Patties
1 lb. ground chicken breast
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried sage
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. olive oil
2 cups non-fat chicken broth

1. Mix together the chicken, bread crumbs, garlic, green
onions, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Form
into 8 patties and place them, covered, in the fridge for
about 1/2 hour.

2. Spray a large fry pan with cooking spray and half the oil.
Cook 4 of the patties for 6 minutes on each side, or until
brown and no longer pink inside. Move these to a plate.
Cook the other 4 patties in the remainder of the oil and
move these to the plate.

3. Pour the chicken broth into the fry pan and bring to a
boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the broth is reduced to
half the amount you started with. Spoon this broth over
the patties when serving.
