Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Ground Chicken
  • 1/2 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 White Onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 6 Sesame or Brioche Buns toasted
  • 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise or more Optional
  • 1 Head Butter Lettuce
  • 1 Large Tomato cut into 6 slices
  • 6 Slices Cheddar Cheese or your favorite cheese

Instructions

Instructions for stove top:

  • Mix the chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt together just until combined.
  • Divide the mixture into 6 equal parts and form each part into a patty.
  • Heat a large skillet over low-high heat and coat the bottom with cooking oil.
  • Add three patties to the pan at a time and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until each side forms a light crust.
  • Remove them from the pan and let the excess oil drip off on a plate fitted with a paper towel.
  • Repeat the cooking process with the remaining uncooked patties.
  • Allow the patties to rest for 3-4 minutes before serving.
  • Spread the mayonnaise on each side of the toasted burger buns, then layer on a few pieces of lettuce, a slice of tomato, a cooked patty, a slice of cheese and then the top bun.

Instructions for Grilling:

  • Spray the grate on an electric grill with non-stick spray or brush with olive oil, then heat the grill to low medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the patties to the grill and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes, or until each side forms grill marks and a light crust.
  • Rest for 3-4minutes before serving.

Notes

NOTE:  The secret to a juicy chicken burger is to not over-work the meat, and also not to over cook it.  When mixing the burgers together, only mix just until combined and do so gently. Then, use a meat thermometer to make sure the meat is cooked through to 165 degrees and pull immediately off the pan or grill to prevent overcooking.
