Ingredients

Herbed Chicken Burger Patties

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • ⅔ cup bread crumbs (if your chicken is watery you made an additional ¼ cup)
  • 5 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup chopped mint
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 6 scallions (white parts)
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp ginger paste or grated ginger (optional but adds great flavour!)

Herb-y Sauce

  • 5 tbsp mayo
  • ¼ cup mint (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 6 scallions - green parts, thinly sliced.
  • a squeeze of lime juice, salt and pepper.

Additional Ingredients

  • 6 Burger Buns
  • Sliced Onions, Tomatoes, Jalapenos for topping
  • Butter for your burger buns

Instructions

  • Tip: Before starting chop the scallions, separating the green and white parts, then chop the half cup of cilantro and mint too and set aside.
  • Combine all the chicken burger patty ingredients and form into 6 patties.
    Tip: for a less chunky textured burger (our preference) blend the mayo, jalapeno, mint, scallions and cilantro.
  • Cook in a pan for 4-5 minutes on each side on medium heat until done.

Sauce

  • Add your minced herbs and scallions to the mayo and stir in lime juice.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning.

Assembly

  • Toast your burger buns
  • Lightly butter the bottom bun, place the patty on top, add your favourite toppings (onions, jalapenos, tomatoes) and a generous spoonful of the sauce. Top with the top half of the bun and dig in.

Notes

  •  This burger recipe makes 4 massive patties or 6 regularly sized ones.
  • To up the spice you can always use minced thai chilies in the chicken mix 
  • If you want to make the chicken mix a day ahead and store it in the fridge that works!
