  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Patties

  • 0.5 pound ground chicken breasts
  • 0.5 pound ground dark chicken meat
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon Italian herbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil

Burger Assembly

  • 4 burger buns
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 large lettuce leaves
  • Mayonnaise, as desired

Instructions

  1. Combine the patty ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken breasts, ground dark chicken meat, breadcrumbs, light mayonnaise, dried parsley, Italian herbs, garlic powder, and paprika powder. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your taste and mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ½-inch thick. Press your thumb gently into the center of each patty to create a small indent; this helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing up during cooking.
  3. Cook the chicken patties: Heat the neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
  4. Flip and finish cooking: Flip the patties and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side, ensuring they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  5. Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the cut sides of the burger buns. Place a cooked chicken patty on the bottom half of each bun, then layer sliced tomatoes, lettuce leaves, and red onions on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.
  6. Serve: Serve the prepared chicken burgers warm and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Making an indent in the patty before cooking helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing up.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken patties are thoroughly cooked to 165°F for safety.
  • You can customize your burger toppings with cheese, pickles, or sauces as desired.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on the number of servings needed.
  • Use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil for cooking to avoid overpowering flavors.
