Mushroom gravy is lower in calories and can be homemade.

Add 2 pounds of ground chicken to a bowl.

Crack 1 egg into the bowl with the ground chicken.

Add 2 tablespoons of smoked paprika to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of granulated onion to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of steak seasoning to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic salt to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture.

Add 1.5 cups of breadcrumbs to the mixture and mix everything together.

If desired, add more breadcrumbs to achieve a sturdy consistency, about another half cup.

Form the mixture into balls, using the palm of your hand to gauge the size.

Flatten the balls into patties and place them on wax paper.

Spray the wax paper generously with butter spray to prevent sticking.

Space the patties out on the wax paper and flatten them to your desired thickness.

Once all patties are formed, place them in the freezer for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

Prepare the dredging station with flour, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup of milk.

In the flour, add about 2 tablespoons of seasoning and mix.

In the breadcrumbs, add about 1 tablespoon of seasoning and mix.

In the egg wash, add about 1 tablespoon of seasoning and mix.

Remove the patties from the freezer and peel them off the wax paper, ensuring they don't stick.

Set up the dredging station: first dip the patties in flour, then in the egg wash, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
