Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Burger Patties

  • 500g/ 1.2 lb ground chicken (mince) ((Note 1))
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup parmesan (finely grated (Note 2))
  • 1 cup green onion (finely sliced (~2 stems))
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage ((Note 3))
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper (each)

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 soft burger buns or brioche buns
  • 1 avocado (big!) (or 2 medium)
  • 60g / 2 oz rocket/arugula or other lettuce of choice
  • 2 tomatoes (sliced)
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese (or other cheese)
  • Mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, or tomato sauce (to smear lid)
  • French fries
  • Baked potato wedges

Instructions

  1. Chicken Burger Patties – Place Pattie ingredients in a bowl, mix well with hands.
  2. Form 4 patties, 1.5cm / 3/5″ thick, slightly larger than the buns (shrinks slightly). If the mixture is super sticky, either refrigerate mixture for 30 minutes, or wet hands or lightly spray hands with oil.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties, working in batches. Cook for 2 minutes or until deep golden, then flip.
  4. After 1 minute, top with a piece of cheese and place a lid on to melt cheese.
  5. Once cheese is melted, remove patties from the skillet.
  6. Assemble – Split buns and lightly toast in the oven or under broiler/grill.
  7. Cut avocado in half, scoop out a generous amount, then ‘smash’ it on the base of the bun with a fork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  8. Top with Chicken Pattie, then rocket/arugula and tomato.
  9. Smear the top bun with mayonnaise (or relish, ketchup, other condiment of choice) and place the lid on the bun.
  10. Devour and be happy!

Notes

  • Note 1: You can substitute ground turkey for ground chicken.
  • Note 2: Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor.
  • Note 3: Feel free to use fresh sage if preferred.
  • Note 4: Refrigerating the mixture helps it hold together better while forming patties.
