Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Sliced tomato
• 4 slices Sliced red onion
• 0 Mayonnaise or preferred condiments

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix as this can make the burgers dense.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into burger patties about ¾-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Place the patties onto the skillet or grill pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them, until golden brown on the bottom.

Step 6

Flip the patties carefully and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the skillet or grill, if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise or your preferred condiment onto the bottom half of each bun.

Step 10

Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a cooked chicken patty, and a slice of red onion.

Step 11

Place the top half of the bun over the assembled burger and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
