Ingredients
  

  • 454 g ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, dry unseasoned
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil, for frying

To serve:

  • 4 Buns
  • 1/2 head Romaine lettuce
  • 1 tomato, sliced, optional
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the 454 g ground chicken, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 yellow onion, 1/4 cup parsley, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Divide the mixture into 4. Using wet hands, shape the mixture into burger shaped patties, around 3/4 inch thick depending on preference. Set aside and place on a tray.
  • In a medium to large sized skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons neutral oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165F using a meat thermometer.
  • Serve on the 4 Buns with the 1/2 head Romaine lettuce, sliced 1 tomato and chopped 1/4 red onion and condiments of your choice (we love it with my easy white sauce).

Notes

  • For smaller portions or for kids, divide the mixture into 6 patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side.
  • Serve with buns and your favourite burger toppings, or enjoy as is!
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 5 days. Burgers can be frozen for up to 4 months.
