Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken
- 1 medium (grated) apple
- 60 g panko breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks (chopped finely) green onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tbsp (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 large (beaten) egg
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 4 tbsp mayo or favorite condiment
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated apple, panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onion, minced garlic, parsley, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that matches the size of your burger buns.
Step 4
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 5
Cook the chicken patties for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Step 6
If using cheese, place a slice of cheddar on each patty in the last 2 minutes of cooking to allow it to melt.
Step 7
Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet or pan during the last few minutes of cooking the patties.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayo or your favorite condiment on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, then place the chicken and apple patty on top.
Step 9
Finish assembling by adding the top half of the bun. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
