Chicken Burgers
Spiced with smoked paprika and loaded with crunchy, bright coleslaw, we think these burgers rival their beef counterparts.
Recipe type: Appetizer
Ingredients
- 1½ lb. ground chicken
- ¾ tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 green onions, minced
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 slices cheddar
- 4 leaves butterhead lettuce
- 2 c. coleslaw
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
- Brioche burger buns, split and lightly toasted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, paprika, garlic, and green onions, and season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture into 4 patties.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add burger patties and cook, flipping once, until golden and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°, 8 to 10 minutes. Add cheddar on top, cover, and cook until just melted, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer patties to a plate.
- Stack lettuce, coleslaw, chicken burger, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and more coleslaw on top of bottom buns. Close sandwich with top bun.
