Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 medium onion, finely diced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise (optional)
• 4 cheese slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, diced onion, dried oregano, paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and chopped parsley.

Step 2

Add the egg and breadcrumbs to the mixture, and mix thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into evenly sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, place the chicken patties in the skillet. Cook for approximately 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

If using cheese slices, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to help the cheese melt.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns in the same skillet or on a grill for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise (if using) on the bottom half of the bun, followed by a cooked chicken patty, lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and the top bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a fresh salad.
