Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken
- 1 medium (grated) apple
- 60 g panko breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks (chopped finely) green onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tbsp (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 large (beaten) egg
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 4 tbsp mayo or favorite condiment
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated apple, panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onion, minced garlic, parsley, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that matches the size of your burger buns.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Cook the chicken patties for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
If using cheese, place a slice of cheddar on each patty in the last 2 minutes of cooking to allow it to melt.
Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet or pan during the last few minutes of cooking the patties.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayo or your favorite condiment on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, then place the chicken and apple patty on top.
Finish assembling by adding the top half of the bun. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
