Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground chicken
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Peanut butter, creamy
• 0.25 cup Coconut milk
• 1 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Chili garlic sauce (optional)
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 Red onion, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, soy sauce, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the chicken patties for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and chili garlic sauce (if using) until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked chicken patty. Drizzle the peanut sauce generously over the patty, then add a slice of tomato and some red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with extra peanut sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
