Take advantage of the chicken from your stew! Shred the chicken, and if it has vegetables, include them. Then place the chicken in a bowl and mix with the onion, garlic powder, parsley, cornstarch, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper and combine; you should obtain a homogeneous and manageable mixture. Form the patties with your hands and fry in vegetable oil. Drain. Serve accompanied by the green sauce leftover from the stew.
