Chicken Broccoli Burgers Recipes

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Steam broccoli until tender and then roughly chop into small pieces. Add the broccoli to a large mixing bowl. Let sit until cool enough to handle comfortably.
• Cut the chicken thighs up in large chunks and add to a food processor. Make sure to only fill the food processor up about 1/3 of the way full so work in batches if needed. Pulse the chicken into a ground meat mixture then transfer to a large bowl. Or - just use pre ground chicken.
• Add the chopped broccoli, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder (if using) to the bowl and mix everything together with your hands until well combined.
• Divide the chicken mixture into 5 pieces (about 6 oz each) then shape each section into a burger patty. Season each side with pepper.
• Warm the oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot add the patties to the pan and fry on each side, about 7-10 minutes each until cooked through. Internal temp should be 165°F/74°C.
• Serve in lettuce wraps or on gluten free buns with your favourite burger add-ons.

CHICKEN & BROCCOLI BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground chicken with chopped broccoli and cheese (I used an 8oz bag of the Kraft Crumbles).
• Add Montreal Seasoning and form into burgers. I bake them on a non-stick pan so no oil is needed and they still come out crispy (see photos).
• I topped mine with Franks Red Hot sauce because I love that on my turkey and chicken burgers. My husband used BBQ sauce and said it was really good, so whatever condiment makes you happy, try on these burgers or just have them plain.
