Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 8 slices sliced cucumber
- 4 tablespoons sriracha mayo (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, peanut butter, panko bread crumbs, finely chopped green onion, grated ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the hot pan and cook for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
While the patties cook, lightly toast the burger buns on another pan or grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked chicken patty, followed by 2 slices of cucumber, and a dollop of sriracha mayo, if using. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
