This top - rated chicken burger recipe is a great change from the usual beef burgers.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of extra - lean ground chicken

• ½ cup of Italian - seasoned bread crumbs (divided)

• ½ small onion, finely grated

• 1 large egg

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

• Salt and ground black pepper (to taste)

• 2 teaspoons of olive oil

The recipe creator, ChatteroosMom, says you can use ground turkey instead of ground chicken and it'll turn out great.

How to Make the Burgers

1. First, mix the ground chicken, half of the bread crumbs (that's 1/4 cup), the grated onion, the egg, and the minced garlic in a bowl. Then add salt and pepper to taste.

2. Get your hands a bit wet and take 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture at a time. Shape it into flat, oval - shaped patties.

3. Put the remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Dip the patties in the bread crumbs to coat them.

4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium - high heat.

5. Cook the patties in the hot oil until they're golden and well - browned on the bottom, which takes about 5 to 6 minutes.

6. Flip the patties and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes until it's also browned. Then they're ready to serve!

Serving Suggestions

I usually serve these burgers with mashed potatoes and Caesar salad for a really comforting meal. You can also serve them on buns with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and avocado, and add a side of potato chips.

Tips

• You can make the patty mixture a day before you plan to cook the burgers. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge and form the patties just before cooking.

• Store leftover chicken burger patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to three months.

What Others Say

• CookinLovin added dried parsley flakes to the mixture and grated Parmesan cheese to the bread crumb coating. They served it on French - style buns with lettuce, mayo, honey mustard, and onion rings and said it was yummy!

• Rusty Brown said it was really simple and quick, and dinner was ready earlier than planned. The cooking instructions of 5 - 6 minutes per side were just right.

• Beulah said these were the best burgers they'd had in years. They used ground - up crackers instead of breadcrumbs and added a bit of fresh parsley. The grated onion made all the difference.
