Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 onion
- 3 tsp fennel seed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dry crushed red pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 4 purple onions
- Tomatoes (for garnish)
- Lettuce leaves (for serving)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by pulsing the boneless, skinless chicken breast halves in a food processor. Pulse about 6 times, or until the chicken is ground to your desired consistency.
-
-
Add Seasonings: Next, add in the minced onion along with the fennel seed, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dry crushed red pepper, ground nutmeg, and Dijon mustard.
-
Process: Process the mixture for about two (2) minutes, ensuring that the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the ground chicken.
-
Shape Patties: Divide the seasoned chicken mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties.
-
Cook: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Alternatively, you can grill the patties on an outdoor grill for that extra smoky flavor.
-
Serve: Once cooked, serve the chicken burgers on rolls with your favorite condiments. Top with sliced purple onions, fresh tomatoes, and crisp lettuce leaves for added crunch and flavor.
Tips:
- Customize the seasonings to your liking! Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create unique flavor profiles.
- For a gluten-free option, serve the chicken burgers on lettuce wraps instead of rolls.
- Make a double batch of patties and freeze them for later use. Simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
- Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a refreshing cucumber salad for a complete meal.
