Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the same pan or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked chicken patty with melted cheese, a tomato slice, red onion slices, and 2 pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fully Loaded Cajun Chicken Burgers!
