Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
• 4 burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp yellow mustard
• 4 slices pickles (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat, and add the olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger fixings: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds, wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, and optionally slice pickles if using.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix ketchup, mayonnaise, and yellow mustard to create a tangy burger sauce.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly in a toaster or on a hot skillet until golden brown.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, spread a spoonful of the burger sauce onto the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce, a chicken patty with melted cheese, a tomato slice, red onion rings, and pickles if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with fries, chips, or a side salad, and enjoy your New York Chicken Burger!
