Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces dairy-free burger buns
- 4 tablespoons dairy-free mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 slices sliced tomato
- 4 slices sliced red onion
- 8 slices pickle slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix until just combined.
Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the spicy mayo by mixing the dairy-free mayonnaise with the hot sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toast the dairy-free burger buns in a toaster, on a grill, or in a dry skillet until slightly golden.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a tablespoon of the spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, cooked chicken patty, 2 slices of tomato, 1 slice of red onion, and 2 pickle slices. Spread another tablespoon of the spicy mayo on the top half of the bun and place it over the toppings.
Serve the burgers immediately, optionally with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
