CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE BURGER PATTIES



Chicken and Vegetable Burger Patties image

This was a recipe I came up with when I started trying to lose weight with Sure Slim. It uses Cruskit crispbreads or crackers and follows the "rules" of the diet. Cruskits are those revolting puffed crispbreads that you buy thinking that you are being good but then don't eat. I found that they make an excellent binder for burgers.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

400 g ground chicken
8 crackers
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
2 stalks celery
2 large mushrooms
1 zucchini
1 bunch coriander
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Put the Cruskits in the food processor and grind to a fine breadcrumb consistency. Tip the crumbs into a bowl.
  • Put the rest of the ingredients except the chicken into the food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  • Note: Resist the temptation to do the Cruskits and vegetables together. You'll end up with a gluggy mess that is difficult to get out of the food processor.
  • Add the chicken and vegetables to the crumbs and mix together quickly. The crumbs absorb the liquid and become sticky so the quicker you can work, the easier it is to combine everything evenly. I get into it with my hands.
  • Divide into 4 large patties or 8 small ones, about 1.5 to 2 cm thick. Grill for 7 minutes on each side.
  • Serve in a pita bread with lettuce and tomato or serve as a main dish with vegetables.
  • These patties can also be baked in a hot oven. I also make them into meatballs and bake them then freeze them. They can be added to stock and bok choy for a very quick meal.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground lean chicken
1/2 cup finely grated zucchini
1/2 cup finely grated carrot
4 chopped scallions, white and green, chopped
1/4 cup hummus
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 whole wheat burger buns or pitas, for serving
Sliced tomato, cucumber, lettuce, red onion, and some plain yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • 1.Put the chicken in a bowl and add the zucchini, carrot, scallion, hummus, parsley, garlic, coriander and cumin. Mix the meat and flavorings together by hand, or with a wooden spoon, until evenly combined. Form into four burgers, about 1/2-inch thick. (If the mixture is very soft, transfer the burgers to a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes.)
  • 2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush burgers lightly with olive oil and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and some pepper. Add burgers to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sides of the burgers registers between 165 and 170 degrees F. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Serve burgers on a toasted bun or in a pita with toppings as desired.

CHICKEN AND VEGGIE BURGERS



Chicken and Veggie Burgers image

Want a burger for your kids that has no red meat, has added veggies, and tastes great? Here's your burger! For time-saving convenience, I like to use the chicken breast that comes in the foil packages rather than canned chicken because to me it just tastes better - just a personal preference. You could also use chicken you've cooked - just shred finely or run through the food processor. When I originally received this recipe, it called for 1/4 cup finely chopped roasted red pepper, but since I didn't have any I subbed the sun-dried tomatoes and that's how I've made them ever since (although I'm sure the roasted red peppers would be good also). I love to top these with recipe#309836. That really puts them over the top!

THE BEST VEGGIE BURGER



The Best Veggie Burger image

These veggie burgers are hearty, savory, and rich in meaty flavor, thanks to cremini mushrooms, rice, black beans, and walnuts. Your family may think you made them with real meat! The texture is a little softer than a beef patty, but a wonderful contrast to the beautiful, pan-fried crust that really stands up to the bun and toppings.
