Ground Chicken Burger Recipe
Description
This recipe uses ground chicken breast as the main protein, mixed with moistening and binding agents like Italian-style breadcrumbs and mayonnaise, complemented by minced onion, parsley, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. The mixture is gently combined and shaped into patties, with an indentation pressed in the center for even cooking.
Cooking on a preheated skillet or grill with avocado oil produces a golden brown exterior while ensuring juices remain inside. Using a meat thermometer confirms the burgers reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking times of about 5 minutes per side on the stovetop or approximately 10 minutes on the grill ensure thorough cooking without drying.
The burgers can be served on hamburger buns with typical fresh toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and red onion, making for a straightforward sandwich meal.
The recipe supports practical storage and freezing methods, including freezing patties with parchment to prevent sticking and storing refrigerated leftovers for several days.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast ground
- ½ cup breadcrumbs Italian style
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons onion minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley fresh
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- Hamburger Bun for serving
- lettuce for serving
- tomato
- red onion
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add ground chicken, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, onions, parsley, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Use your hands to combine all the ingredients together until blended, but don’t over mix.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal patties. Press down in the middle of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking of the chicken burgers.
Stovetop Cooking
- Pre-heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat with avocado oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the chicken burgers. Cook for about 5 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden brown. Then, flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 165°F. If they need more time, reduce the heat slightly and continue cooking until fully done.
Grilling
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
- Cook the chicken burgers on the preheated grill until the internal temperature is 165°F, about 10 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
- Assemble the chicken burgers with hamburger buns and toppings of choice.
Notes
- Store leftover cooked burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze uncooked or cooked patties for up to 3 months; separate each patty with wax or parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Thaw frozen patties overnight in the refrigerator before reheating on stovetop or microwave.
- For best results follow the recipe's ingredient proportions; common substitutions may be possible but could alter texture or flavor.
