Introduction
Burgers are a popular meal all around the world, but sometimes you may want to switch up the traditional beef burger with something a bit different. That's where chicken burgers come in! They're a healthier alternative to beef burgers and can also be quite delicious. In this article, we'll be sharing a recipe for a tasty chicken burger that you can make at home.
Ingredients
For the burgers:
1 pound ground chicken
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated onion
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the toppings:
Lettuce
Sliced tomato

Mayonnaise
Ketchup
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated onion, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. 2. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty. 3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. 4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the hamburger buns by toasting them in a toaster oven or on a skillet. 5. Once the patties are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. 6. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce, sliced tomato, and sliced red onion on top of the patty. 7. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the top half of the bun and place it on top of the burger. 8. Serve and enjoy!

Tips and Variations
- If you prefer a spicier burger, add a dash of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños to the ground chicken mixture. - If you're looking for a gluten-free option, you can use gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs. - You can also mix up the toppings on your chicken burger. Try adding avocado, bacon, or different types of cheese. - If you're trying to cut down on calories, you can skip the mayonnaise and ketchup and use mustard instead. - If you don't have ground chicken on hand, you can use ground turkey instead for a similar taste. - You can also make these burgers on the grill instead of in a skillet. Just preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side.
