Homemade Chicken Burger

Serving Size: 4 burgers

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 burger buns
  • Toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, barbecue sauce (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the size of the burger buns.
  4. Place the chicken patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Ensure the patties are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  5. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet for a warm and slightly crispy texture.
  6. Once the chicken patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, and barbecue sauce, according to your preferences. Finish with the top half of the bun.
  8. Serve the homemade chicken burgers immediately, allowing the flavors to meld together, and enjoy their delightful taste.
