Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 240 grams Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 medium Mango (peeled and diced)
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 medium Red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Sliced tomato
- optional Optional toppings (e.g., mayonnaise or hot sauce)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained chickpeas using a fork or potato masher until chunky but not completely smooth.
Add the ground chicken, diced mango, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas.
Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the burger patties for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on the skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, if desired.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked chicken-mango-chickpea patty, a slice of tomato, and any desired toppings like mayonnaise or hot sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dish, such as a salad, sweet potato fries, or chips.
