Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece Egg white
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Whole grain mini slider buns
- 8 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken breast, whole wheat breadcrumbs, red onion, parsley, minced garlic, egg white, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and shape them into mini patties.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken patties to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are golden brown on both sides.
While the patties are cooking, mix low-fat Greek yogurt with lemon juice in a small bowl to create a simple spread.
Toast the whole grain mini slider buns lightly on a separate pan or toaster.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked chicken pattie.
Add a slice of tomato and avocado on top of each patty.
Spread the Greek yogurt mixture on the top half of each bun, then place it on top of the assembled burgers.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy mini chicken burgers!
