Asian Zucchini-and-Chicken Burgers image

These tasty burgers are moist and flavorful! My family hates zucchini, but they love these burgers. Once they cook you can't even tell the zucchini is in there! The perfect way to sneak extra veggies into my family's diet while using up the bounty from the garden. Serve with a dill pickle spear on the side.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pound ground chicken
2 cups shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons Asian chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns - split, toasted and buttered
4 lettuce leaves, or to taste
4 tomato slices, or to taste
4 red onion slices, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Mix ground chicken, zucchini, green onions, bread crumbs, chile paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, fish sauce, ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Form into 4 patties and place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, flip, and continue baking until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Whisk mayonnaise, chile-garlic sauce, mustard, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.
  • Spread sauce onto cut sides of hamburger buns. Stack lettuce, tomato, and onion onto one side of each bun. Top vegetables with a burger and complete sandwiches with remaining bun halves.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I thought I'd give these burgers a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The zucchini wasn't overpowering and the burgers were actually really good. I'll definitely be making them again.

I made these burgers with ground beef instead of chicken and they were still really good. I also added a bit of chopped onion for extra flavor. My family loved them!

These burgers were a bit dry. I think I needed to add more moisture to the mixture. The flavor was good, but I would make some adjustments next time.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less Sriracha next time.

These burgers were a bit dry. I think I needed to add more liquid to the mixture. The flavor was good, but I would make some adjustments next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious these burgers were. I'm not usually a big fan of zucchini, but it was cooked perfectly in these burgers and added a nice sweetness. The chicken was also tender and juicy. I would definitely make these again
