Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 units burger buns
- 4 units lettuce leaves
- 4 slices tomato slices
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, lemon zest, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a burger patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the pan.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun (if using). Add a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Place the cooked chicken patty on top and cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors!
