Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Peanut butter, creamy
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Chili garlic sauce (optional)
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, soy sauce, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken patties for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and chili garlic sauce (if using) until smooth and creamy.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked chicken patty. Drizzle the peanut sauce generously over the patty, then add a slice of tomato and some red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with extra peanut sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
