Thai Chicken Burger

My last name is Berger – the jokes that have ensued for my 25 years of life are never ending….  Feel free to come up with a couple that we haven’t heard before!

Yes, we love burgers, just in case you were wondering!

To tell you the truth, I have never made a chicken burger. Nor have I played with ground chicken… It looks even more gross than raw chicken…. But! I was determined.

And, it wasn’t that bad! It was like making meatloaf, with chicken. And, it was a quick process – under 30 minutes!

Combine all ingredients together in bowl – it was very gloopy… So, not to worry! Score the meat with your hand into four sections, and make those sections into burger patties. Place on a plate. You could go directly into a pan now, but since I made these in the morning, I covered them with plastic wrap and let them hang out in the fridge for a few hours. (I think this helped them “set up”  and become not gloopy.)

Add 1 spoonful of Coconut Oil to a cast iron skillet. When it is hot, add your burgers. Cook thoroughly – remember, this is chicken and not beef! No pink. No pink. No pink!

I covered mine with a lid and flipped after about 5 minutes. It will depend on the thickness of your patty – so I can’t tell you an exact time… Sorry! When you press the middle of the burger, if it is firm, it’s done. If not, cover and cook a little longer!

I served mine with caramelized onions a top. It was wonderful! You can find my tutorial for making the onions HERE.

This makes an easy, healthy Paleo dinner. Would be great with roasted sweet potatoes or brussel sprouts!
