Chicken Burger
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil ($0.04)
- ¼ cup yellow onion (minced, $0.20)
- 1 lb. ground chicken ($3.42)
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs ($0.12)
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise ($0.14)
- 1 Tbsp fresh parsley (minced, $0.17)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce ($0.02)
- ½ tsp salt ($0.02)
- ½ tsp garlic powder ($0.08)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.04)
- 4 hamburger buns ($0.73)
Optional Toppings
- red onion (sliced, $0.57)
- lettuce ($0.15)
- tomato (sliced, $0.25)
- pickles ($0.41)
Instructions
- 1
Gather your ingredients and preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 400°F).
- 2
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until soft and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- 3
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onion, panko, mayo, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix just until combined—don't overwork the meat.
- 4
Divide the mixture into four equal portions (about 4 oz each). Gently shape into patties and press a shallow indent into the center of each one with your thumb to help them cook evenly and avoid puffing up.
- 5
Place buns cut-side down on the hot grill for 1–2 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside.
- 6
Grill the patties for 4–5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- 7
Let the burgers rest for a few minutes off the heat so the juices can redistribute. Then serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings (I went with red onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickles). Enjoy!
