Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 small onion finely grated
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Method
 

  1. Mix all the ingredients together and shape into 6 thin patties.
  1. Chill the patties in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes. This step makes them easier to handle, but it can be skipped if you're in a rush.
  1. Grill the patties over medium-high heat for 4–6 minutes per side.
  1. Add cheese to the patties at the end of grilling and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the patties before grilling helps them hold their shape better.
  • Serve the burgers on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings for added flavor.
  • For a healthier option, consider using whole-grain buns or lettuce wraps.
