Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 100 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the lemon mayonnaise by whisking together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Toast the burger buns in a dry skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of lemon mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by a chicken patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes or enjoy as-is!
