Equipment
- Large Skillet with lid
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground chicken
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise plus more for topping
- 1 cup plain Panko breadcrumbs divided
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices Pepperjack cheese
- Favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onions
- 4 Hawaiian hamburger buns or regular buns
Instructions
- Add the ground chicken, mayonnaise, ½ cup breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl and mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Form the chicken mixture into four equal-sized balls and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of breadcrumbs onto a plate. Flatten each chicken ball into a patty shape and coat both sides of the patty in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet on the stovetop with the burner set to medium or just below medium heat.
- Lay the prepared patties carefully in the preheated skillet/oil and cook on one side for 6-7 minutes.
- Flip the patties and cook for 2 minutes, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Ensure the patties reach an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lay the Pepperjack cheese slices on the hot burgers until they melt.
- Layer the patties on the buns with desired toppings and mayonnaise.
Notes
Pairs well with Sweet Potato Fries.
Tips for Success
- Mix gently to keep the burgers tender.
- Cook over medium heat so the outside becomes golden without burning before the center is fully cooked.
- Use a meat thermometer to make sure the burgers reach 165°F.
- Let the cheese melt on the hot patties just before serving.
- Store leftover cooked chicken burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet, the oven, or the microwave until heated through.
- Cooked patties can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
