These chicken mince burgers are so simple to make and come together very quickly. They are healthier but juicy and very delicious. The easiest and tastiest mid week meal to prepare.
Equipment
- Food processor
- Spoon
- Sauté pan
- Metal spatula
Ingredients
- 500 gm chicken breast mince ground chicken or ground turkey
- 1 large onion roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 green chili
- 1/2 carrot roughly chopped
- 1/2 zucchini roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 lime
Serve with
- Potato buns
- Garlic yogurt
- Spinach leaves
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- In a food processor add the onion, garlic and green chili. Process until it is fine. Add the carrot, zucchini and grind again until even.
- Add the chicken mince, egg, cheese, bread, salt, pepper, oregano and fresh cilantro. Process until combined.
- Divide the mixture into 8 large balls or 12 smaller balls. Flatten each ball and form into patties, you can use olive oil on your hands for this.
- At this stage you can add slice cheese into the center of the patties to get a gooey cheese filling.
- In a sauté pan on medium heat add a little olive oil and cook the burger for 2-3 minutes on each side until they have a golden brown color and cooked through. Hit the cooked patties with lime juice while warm.
- Serve them as burgers like I have with the addition of yogurt mixed with minced garlic and lemon juice, fresh spinach leaves and potato buns with hot sauce.
Notes
- Adjust the heat as needed to make these cutlets as they will burn easily.
- Add more oil as needed in the pan while cooking if it is sticking.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can grate the onion, carrot and zucchini, finely chop the garlic, cilantro and green chili.
