Ground Chicken Burgers

Molly LaFontaine
My ground chicken burgers are so simple to make without breadcrumbs or eggs! Just ground chicken, a few spices, and a little Parmesan cheese. We enjoy them for lunch, especially during the summer, with or without a bun. I hope you love these simple chicken burgers as much as we do!

Servings 2 burgers

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound ground chicken (I like to get no antibiotic ground chicken)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (salt-free)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (salt-free)
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley (or fresh)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (I don't recommend processed parmesan in the containers)
  • 1-2 tsp avocado oil (or a high heat olive oil)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat with avocado oil or high heat olive oil.
  • Place everything in a large mixing bowl and mix until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Divide mixture into 2 equal sections and either shape each into a burger with your hands (about 1/2 inch thick) or scoop into the skillet and spread out with spoon until 1/2 inch thick).
  • Once oil is hot, place burgers in the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, don't move them so they develop a crust, then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until fully cooked. Cooking time will vary depending on thickness of burger. If you have a small skillet, do one at a time.
  • Remove from the heat and enjoy!

Notes

How To Cook Chicken Burgers in the Oven - Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your flattened burgers on the baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and then bake for an additional 8–10 minutes until fully cooked.
You can also grill these burgers if desired.
