Chicken Cheeseburger Recipe

Ingredients

For the Chicken Patty:

• 500g ground chicken (minced chicken)
• 1 egg (optional, for binding)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika or chili powder (optional, for spice)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)

For Assembly:

• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite kind)
• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced tomatoes
• Sliced onions
• Pickles (optional)
• Mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard (or a combination)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Patty:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
• Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Make sure they’re slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink when cooked.

Cook the Patties:

• Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
• Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

Melt the Cheese:

• During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and cover the pan to let the cheese melt.

Toast the Buns:

• Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet or on a grill for added texture.

Assemble the Burger:

• Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard on the bottom half of the bun.
• Layer with lettuce, a cooked chicken patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onions, and pickles (if desired).
• Add the top half of the bun.

Serve:

• Serve immediately with fries, a side salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
