Herbed Chicken Burgers Recipes

LEMON HERB CHICKEN BURGERS WITH THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING

Steps:

• First, make the dressing. In a blender, purée the tomatoes, nuts, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt for 45 seconds, until the mixture is thick and creamy. Transfer the contents to a small bowl and stir in the minced pickles. Set it aside. (Any extra dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.)
• To prepare to garnish, heat the coconut oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions until they are slightly caramelized, then set them aside.
• For the burgers, in a food processor purée the chicken, onion, and garlic until everything is well combined. Transfer it to a large bowl and add the parsley, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Blend the mixture well with your hands, then form it into four equal-size burgers.
• In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil, then add the burgers. Allow them to brown on one side for several minutes before flipping them and browning the other side. If you are not serving these right away, you can transfer them to a heated oven at this point to keep them warm.
• When the burgers are ready, serve them on buns topped with the fresh greens and sautéed red onion, and with a side of Thousand Island Dressing.

GREEN HERBED LEMON CHICKEN BURGERS WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the onions until softened, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Wipe out the skillet and reserve.
• Combine the chicken, basil, parsley, oregano, ricotta, garlic, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the cooled onions in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands. Splash your hands with some cold water and mold the chicken mixture into 4 patties.
• Combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the reserved skillet and cook the patties until they're cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side (see Cook's Note).
• Meanwhile, toast the buns in a toaster or on a dry pan and set aside.
• Spread the lemon mayo on each side of the buns. Place the bottom of the bun on a plate, top with the arugula, tomato, one patty, goat cheese and finally the top of the bun. Repeat with the remaining patties.

LEMON & HERB CHICKEN CLUB BURGER

Steps:

• First, make the marinade. Crush the garlic with the thyme and a pinch of salt using a pestle and mortar. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and plenty of cracked black pepper and mash together to combine. Lay the chicken breasts out on a board and flatten slightly using a rolling pin until they are an even thickness. Transfer to a container with the marinade, then seal, shake and chill until needed, or for up to 1 hr. Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen, or heat a gas barbecue to medium. Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and keep chilled.
• Cook the bacon on the barbecue for 3-4 min until crisp. Remove to a plate and set aside. Toast the cut side of the buns where you grilled the bacon to soak up the fat, then remove and set aside. Barbecue the marinated chicken breasts for 4-5 mins on each side until lightly charred. Top each with a slice of cheese, if using, and cook for a few minutes more until the cheese has melted and the chicken is cooked through (a probe thermometer should read at least 65C).
• Spread the base of each bun with the sauce, then top with the avocado slices, tomatoes, chicken, bacon and lettuce. Sandwich with the bun tops, press down lightly and serve.
