Ingredients

Chicken Burgers
  • 1 lb 90/10 ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup Cabot Classic Cut Shredded Cheddar Cheese (56 grams)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion (40 grams)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (12 grams)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Grey Poupon Country Dijon Mustard (23 grams)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Toppings
  • 4 Wegmans Brioche Rolls (296 grams)
  • 4 slices Wegmans Thin Sliced Colby Jack Cheese (92 grams)
  • 4 leaves green leaf lettuce, washed and trimmed (80 grams)
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced (120 grams)
  • 4 slices red onion (56 grams)
  • 1/2 cup Ultimate Homemade Burger Sauce (4 fl oz)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all burger ingredients to a bowl and mix with hands just until ingredients are incorporated evenly into the chicken. Form 4 burger patties and place on a parchment lined baking sheet, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Place a cleaned grill topper on top of the grill grates, then pre-heat grill to about 430°F.
  3. Once grill is pre-heated, bunch up a paper towel with a pair of grill tongs; dip it in a bowl of vegetable oil (you need the higher smoke point of vegetable oil as opposed to olive oil); and then run it over the hot, clean grates or grill topper to create a nonstick surface. 
  4. Once the burger patties have rested in the refrigerator, flip them onto the oiled grill topper. Grill 6 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.
  5. Top burgers with cheese during last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking to melt cheese. Serve with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and burger sauce on a brioche bun.

Notes
