GROUND CHICKEN TACO BURGERS

My husband and I are trying to add more variety to our diets, and cut back on red meat, so I came up with this ground chicken burger, and it is delish! I used my George Foreman grill to cook them. I served them with the spicy baked sweet potato fries found on this Website. They make a nice substitution for a regular cheeseburger and French fries.

HOMEMADE GROUND CHICKEN-CHICKPEA BURGERS



Homemade Ground Chicken-Chickpea Burgers image

This burger lends itself to lots of options and variety, all of which are delicious! Even my beef-loving husband loved it and ate every last bite. The best part is the complex texture, moistness, and unique (though not weird...) taste. We enjoyed them with some zucchini fries (fresh from our new backyard veggie garden). Optional: toast buns with a slice of your preferred cheese. Feel free to dress your burger to your liking; I chose Swiss cheese, ketchup, tomatoes, and spinach (my husband opted for American cheese, ketchup, and mustard). Make sure to test patties for doneness prior to consuming!

GROUND CHICKEN AND BLUE CHEESE BURGERS

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup mayo
1 tablespoon roasted garlic puree
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
Salt and ground white pepper
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken meat
6 ounces blue cheese
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 brioche buns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup raw baby spinach leaves
4 tomato slices, thick cut

Steps:

  • For the tarragon aioli: In a bowl, whisk together the mayo, garlic puree and tarragon. Taste and season with salt and white pepper as desired.
  • For the chicken burgers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Over medium-high heat, warm a large ovenproof saute pan with the oil. Form the chicken into 4 equal patties, and then form a pocket in the center of each burger. Fill the center with a quarter of the blue cheese, and then fold the edges to seal the cheese in the burgers. Sprinkle the stuffed burgers with the salt and pepper and sear in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Toast the buns with the butter on a grill, and then layer the toasted bun bottom with some tarragon aioli, baby spinach leaves, a tomato slice, burger and top of bun. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ground chicken. Look for ground chicken that is free of antibiotics and hormones. Organic ground chicken is also a good option.
  • Season the ground chicken generously. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the chicken, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Don't overmix the ground chicken. Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Form the burgers gently. Use your hands to gently form the ground chicken mixture into patties. Avoid pressing the burgers too hard, as this can also make them tough.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Ground chicken burgers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served on buns with your favorite toppings, or they can be used in salads, soups, and stews. Ground chicken burgers are also a great way to get lean protein and essential nutrients into your diet.
