Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups broccoli slaw
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, making them approximately 3/4 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken patties onto the heated surface and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness.
- While burgers are cooking, prepare the broccoli slaw by mixing broccoli slaw mix with mayonnaise in a separate bowl. Stir until the slaw is evenly coated.
- Once chicken burgers are cooked, remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes to retain moisture.
- Serve each burger on a bun, topped with the prepared broccoli slaw. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
Tips
- For the juiciest burgers, avoid overmixing the ground chicken. Mix just until ingredients are combined to prevent tough patties.
- Create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking and ensure even heat distribution.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) - this is crucial for food safety.
- If you don't have a grill pan, these burgers work great on an outdoor grill or in a regular skillet. Just ensure you have a consistent medium-high heat.
- For extra flavor, try adding a splash of sesame oil to the chicken mixture or a drizzle of sriracha mayo on top of the finished burger.
- Make the broccoli slaw ahead of time and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
