Sink your teeth into these juicy, flavor-packed Chicken Burgers, made with tender ground chicken, a touch of Parmesan cheese, and a blend of savory spices like paprika, garlic, and oregano. These easy-to-make patties come together in just 15 minutes of prep and deliver a perfectly crispy sear when cooked in olive oil. Sandwiched between lightly toasted buns and layered with fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, and zesty red onion, these burgers are elevated with a creamy spread of mayonnaise and ketchup for a mouthwatering finish. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual BBQ, this chicken burger recipe is a satisfying, lighter alternative to traditional beef burgers. Serve these hearty sandwiches with your favorite sides for a winning meal that everyone will love.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix until all ingredients are well combined, but be careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken patties.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by a cooked chicken patty, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion.
Cover the stack with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as fries or a salad.
