Ingredients
Chicken Patties
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2/3 cup bread crumbs (add an extra 1/4 cup if the chicken is watery)
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped mint
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 6 scallions (white parts only)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp ginger paste or grated ginger (optional)
Herby Sauce
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped mint
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 6 scallions (green parts, thinly sliced)
- A squeeze of lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Burger Assembly
- 6 burger buns
- Sliced onions, tomatoes, jalapenos for topping
- Butter for toasting buns
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Chop the scallions, separating the white and green parts. Finely chop the cilantro and mint and set all aside for use in patties and sauce.
- Make Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with bread crumbs, mayonnaise, chopped mint, cilantro, white scallion parts, salt, soy sauce, pepper, and ginger paste if using. For a smoother burger texture, blend the mayo, jalapenos, mint, scallions, and cilantro before mixing. Form the mixture into 6 evenly sized patties.
- Cook Patties: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with finely chopped mint, cilantro, green scallion parts, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Toast Buns: Lightly butter the burger buns and toast them until golden and slightly crisp.
- Assemble Burgers: Spread butter on the bottom bun, place a cooked chicken patty on top, add your favorite toppings such as sliced onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos, then spoon over a generous amount of the herby mayo sauce. Cover with the top bun.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious herbed chicken burger with fresh herby sauce.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of bread crumbs depending on the moisture content of the chicken to ensure patties hold shape.
- The ginger paste is optional but adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
- For a less chunky sauce, blend the herbs and scallions into the mayonnaise.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken patties to keep them juicy.
- Feel free to customize toppings based on preference—avocado or cheese can also be great additions.
