Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

- 1/2 chicken breast (approximately 250 g)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (corn or potato)
- A pinch of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (sweet or spicy, depending on preference)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying (sunflower or olive)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the Ingredients
Start by cleaning the chicken breast, removing any fat. Cut it into cubes of about 1-2 cm. This will help the meat cook evenly and quickly.

2. Preparing the Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg well with a whisk or fork. Add the sour cream, cornstarch, baking soda, nutmeg, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until you obtain a homogeneous composition.

3. Adding the Meat
Incorporate the chicken cubes into the egg and sour cream mixture. Make sure each piece is well coated. This step is essential to achieve tender and flavorful patties.

4. Refrigerating
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to combine and help the mixture become more stable for frying.

5. Frying the Patties
Heat a deep pan with oil over medium heat. Check if the oil is hot by dropping a little of the chicken mixture; if it sizzles, it's time to start frying. Use a spoon to take portions of the chicken mixture and place them in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd it. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.

6. Removing and Serving
Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a platter lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve them hot, alongside your favorite side dish - they pair perfectly with mashed potatoes, fresh salad, or grilled vegetables.

Practical Tips

- Types of Oil: Use an oil with a high smoke point, such as sunflower oil, to avoid burning.
- Spices: You can experiment with different spices, such as garlic powder or herbs, to customize the recipe to your taste.
- Variations: Instead of chicken breast, you can use turkey meat or even chopped vegetables for a vegetarian option.
