Description

A healthy, flavorful chicken burger recipe, perfect for quick weeknight dinners, featuring herbs for a juicy bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped onion or shallot
  • 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Finely mince onion and chop herbs. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, herbs, powders, salt, and pepper until pliable.
  2. Form Patties: Gently mix, avoiding overmixing to prevent tough burgers. Divide into 4 portions, form 0.75-inch (2 cm) thick patties, making a slight center indentation to prevent bulging.
  3. Cook Burgers: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large 10-inch non-stick skillet on medium-high. Cook patties 4-6 minutes per side until golden brown, cooked through (165 F / 74 C), with no pink.

Notes

Wet hands slightly for easier patty shaping. Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties reach 165 F (74 C) precisely for a juicy burger. If the mixture is too sticky, add 1-2 teaspoons more whole wheat breadcrumbs. Optional cooking methods include grilling (6-8 minutes per side) or baking (18-20 minutes at 375 F / 190 C), flipping halfway.
