Chicken Rissoles in Mushroom Sauce
This is a rather unusual recipe as when I think of a rissole/pattie/burger you think about a bun of some sort. These are served as is and topped with a sauce as you would a chicken breast. We loved these and thought the flavour was so good. They are very easy to make, taste great and are budget friendly. I made a couple of changes to the original recipe which I have listed below.
