Preparation

Step 1

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 15 minutes or until well browned; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, ricotta, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. Form into 4 equal-size patties and flatten.
