Equipment

  • 1 Frying Pan You can also use a cast iron skillet.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Ground Chicken

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir together until ingredients are fully combined.

  • Spray the frying pan with a nonstick cooking spray or your preferred cooking oil. Place each chicken burger on the preheated pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes on medium high heat.
  • Finally, flip the chicken burgers and cover the pan. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes. (Or until the center is cooked through.)

Notes

Expert Tips

  • I used a large frying pan to cook these burgers, but I also love using my cast iron skillet!
  • You can also cook chicken burgers on an indoor or outdoor grill.
  • Mix all ingredients the night before to allow the flavors to marinate longer! This also saves on prep time the next day.
  • Use this recipe for meal prepping! Serve the burgers throughout the week for quick lunches.
  • If you don't have kitchen safe gloves, coat the palm of your hands with oil to prevent the meat from sticking to your hands when making the burger patties.
  • To make finely diced vegetables, use a Vegetable Chopper or Food Processor!

How to store leftovers

You can store leftover chicken burgers in an airtight container. (I prefer glass containers.) They will stay fresh for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
Chicken burgers can also be stored in the freezer! Place in an airtight bag or container. Freeze for about 2-3 months.
