Chili Chicken Burger - Home & Family
DIRECTIONS:
Chicken Burgers
- Mix together all ingredients for chicken patties (either by hand, or pulsed in a food processor). Shape into 4 patties of equal size and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Heat grill to 350 ̊-400 ̊ (medium-high). Cook burgers 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and continue cooking until desired doneness is reached (165 ̊ measured on a thermometer to be safe).
- Add cheese slice to burger patty, and allow it to melt (depending on how hot your grill is, you might need to lower the lid to make this happen quickly).
- Remove burgers from grill to rest.
- Assemble the burger in this order: bottom bun, chipotle mayo (recipe follows), lettuce, patty+cheese, tomato, chipotle mayo, top bun.
