What You’ll Need

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Chicken Breast
• ½ cup Italian Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Minced Onions
• 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
• 1 Garlic Clove Minced
• ½ tsp Paprika
• ½ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Black Pepper
• Hamburger Buns, Lettuce, Tomato, Onions (for serving)

Equipment I Used

• Stand Mixer with meat grinder attachment
• Mixing Bowl
• Frying Pan
• Measuring spoons
• Spatula
• Cutting Board

How To Make It

Prepare the Ingredients

Mince the onions and garlic, and chop the fresh parsley. (Note: If you don’t have fresh parsley, you can use 1 teaspoon of dry parsley instead.) For ground chicken, you can buy it pre-ground or grind chicken breasts with a meat grinder. Set these aside

Combine the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken breast, Italian breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, minced onions, chopped parsley, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Using your hands or a spoon, gently mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Be careful not to over mix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. With your hands, shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent the burgers from puffing up during cooking.

For firmer patties that hold together better during cooking, place them on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.

Cook the Patties

If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet with a bit of oil.

Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the outside is nicely browned. Avoid pressing down on the patties with a spatula, as this can squeeze out the juices and make the burgers dry.

Toast the Buns (Optional)

If desired, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes, until they are golden brown.

Assemble the Burgers

Place each chicken patty on a toasted bun. Add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and onions.

Serve

Serve the chicken burgers immediately while they are hot and juicy. Enjoy your delicious homemade chicken burgers with a side of your favorite fries, salad, or coleslaw.
