Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil $0.04
- ¼ cup yellow onion minced, $0.20
- 1 lb. ground chicken $3.42
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs $0.12
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise $0.14
- 1 Tbsp fresh parsley minced, $0.17
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce $0.02
- ½ tsp salt $0.02
- ½ tsp garlic powder $0.08
- ¼ tsp black pepper freshly cracked, $0.04
- 4 hamburger buns $0.73
Optional Toppings
- red onion sliced, $0.57
- lettuce $0.15
- tomato sliced, $0.25
- pickles $0.41
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients and preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 400°F).
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until soft and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onion, panko, mayo, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix just until combined—don’t overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions (about 4 oz each). Gently shape into patties and press a shallow indent into the center of each one with your thumb to help them cook evenly and avoid puffing up.
- Place buns cut-side down on the hot grill for 1–2 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside.
- Grill the patties for 4–5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes off the heat so the juices can redistribute. Then serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings (I went with red onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickles). Enjoy!
