About Chicken burgers

Chicken burgers are a dish made from ground chicken formed into patties and typically grilled or pan-fried. They originate from Western cuisine and are a leaner alternative to traditional beef burgers. Chicken is an excellent source of high-quality protein, supporting muscle repair and maintenance. These burgers are often seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs to enhance flavor. Nutritionally, chicken burgers are lower in saturated fats compared to beef burgers, contain essential B-vitamins like B6 and niacin, and are a modest source of minerals like phosphorus and selenium. Pairing them with whole-grain buns and fresh vegetables increases their nutrient density, making them a balanced meal option when prepared thoughtfully.
