Ingredients

Burger Patties

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons minced onions
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (for cooking)

To Serve

  • Hamburger buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Red onion slices

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, Italian breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, minced onions, fresh parsley, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly but avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
  2. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties about ¾ inch thick. Press your thumb gently into the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
  3. Preheat Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add avocado oil and swirl to coat the bottom, preventing sticking.
  4. Cook Patties: Place the chicken burgers in the hot pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes on the other side.
  5. Check Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If needed, reduce the heat slightly and cook until fully done.
  6. Serve: Place the cooked patties on hamburger buns and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and red onion slices. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the chicken mixture to avoid tough burgers.
  • Using a meat thermometer ensures safe cooking and prevents dryness.
  • Avocado oil is chosen for its high smoke point and mild flavor, but you can substitute with other oils like canola or vegetable oil.
  • Allowing the patties to rest for a few minutes after cooking helps retain juiciness.
  • Feel free to customize toppings according to preference, including cheese or condiments.
