Total Time:35 minutes
Yield:4 Burger
Ingredients
For the Chicken Patties
500g ground chicken
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Burger Sauce
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped herbs
For Assembly
4 brioche burger buns
Lettuce leaves
1 tomato, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
Pickles (optional)
Cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
Place the ground chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix gently until combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and herbs to prepare the burger sauce.
Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
Lightly toast the brioche buns until warm and crisp.
Spread the sauce onto the buns. Add lettuce, tomato slices, onion, chicken patties, and optional toppings.
Serve immediately with fries, salad, or roasted vegetables.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the chicken mixture to keep the patties tender.
Chilling the patties helps them hold their shape while cooking.
Chicken burgers should reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Brioche buns provide the best soft texture and rich flavor.
