In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated carrot, green onions, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.
Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and peanut butter to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Crack in the egg and sprinkle in the panko breadcrumbs. Mix again until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties about ½ inch thick. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Toast the burger buns lightly in a separate pan or grill if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom bun, topping it with shredded lettuce, bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts. Add the top bun to complete the burger.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing!
