Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Sliced tomato
- 4 slices Sliced red onion
- Mayonnaise or preferred condiments
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix as this can make the burgers dense.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into burger patties about ¾-inch thick.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Place the patties onto the skillet or grill pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them, until golden brown on the bottom.
Flip the patties carefully and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the skillet or grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise or your preferred condiment onto the bottom half of each bun.
Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a cooked chicken patty, and a slice of red onion.
Place the top half of the bun over the assembled burger and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
