Burgers are some of the easiest and most satisfying foods in America. In this recipe we make a healthy, juicy burger using ground chicken. The result is a flavor-packed burger you can chomp into without feeling guilty!
Ingredients
- 1lb ground chicken
- 1 diced small onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp (4 shakes) ground thyme
- Salt
- Pepper
- 4 squirts Cholula
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley (1 large pinch)
- 1 egg
- Wheat germ
- avocado
Directions
Mix all ingredients except avocado together in a bowl with hands. The wheat germ will be your binding agent, so sprinkle it in a little at a time until you get the desired moisture level.
These can be “wetter” than you think they should be. Once they are cooked, they will firm up.
Ingredients ready to be mixed
Mix with hands and add wheat germ until you get your desired consistency
Place patties on iron skillet over medium heat. Flip when bottom side has good color and you see the edges begin to turn white about half way up.
Place patties on hot skillet and hear that sizzle!
Flip when bottoms are good and brown
Toast a whole wheat bun, and top with avocado.
Don’t forget to bite down and enjoy!
