Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 Jalapeño, finely minced (optional)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (for greasing grill or skillet)
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 Avocado, sliced (optional)
- Sour cream or taco sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, taco seasoning, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, minced jalapeño (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty that is roughly the size of your burger buns.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat, greased with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
If you're using cheese slices, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking to let it melt.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the chicken patty, a slice of tomato, sliced avocado (if using), and a dollop of sour cream or taco sauce (if desired). Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with a side of fries, chips, or a fresh salad, and enjoy your Chicken Taco Burgers!
