Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 1 pound
1 1/2 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely grated onion
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes.
Put cubes in a food processor or an electric blender and blend thoroughly. Scrape chicken into a mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup chicken broth, cream, cumin, onion, salt and pepper. Use fingers to blend well.
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 3/4 inch thick.
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.
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.
Stir in chives and pour sauce over the burgers
