Homemade Chicken Burger Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
• 4 burger buns
• Lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and your favorite condiments (e.g., mayo, ketchup, mustard)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Patties:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
   • Mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the burgers tough.
   • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Make them slightly larger than the buns since they'll shrink a bit while cooking.

2. Cook the patties:

   • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
   • Once hot, add the chicken patties. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
   • If you prefer, you can also cook the patties on a preheated grill for the same amount of time.

3. Assemble the burgers:

   • Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet for a minute or two.
   • Spread your desired condiments on the buns.
   • Place the chicken patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, or any other toppings you like.
   • Cover with the top half of the bun.
   • 
     

4. Serve:

   • Serve the chicken burgers hot with your favorite sides like fries, coleslaw, or a simple salad.

Enjoy your homemade chicken burgers!
