Grilled Chicken Burgers
I love these chicken burgers because they are healthy, easy to make, and packed with flavor. I always have what I need to quickly throw the seasoning together, and I like to do it first thing in the morning to cut down on prep time.
Seasoning for Chicken Burgers:
- Olive Oil
- Chili Powder
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Cumin
- Oregano
- Salt & Pepper
How to make Chicken Burgers:
- Coat the chicken breast halves in oil.
- Mix seasonings together
- Season chicken pieces on both sides.
- Grill.
- Top with mashed avocado, onion, lettuce, cheese, or desired toppings.
Tips for grilling chicken breasts:
- Clean the grill. Turn the grill to high heat and after it’s had time to get hot, use a wire grill brush to scrub the grates clean of all leftover food debris.
- Oil the grates. Use a lightly oiled paper towel to spread oil over the hot grates. (Use tongs to hold the paper towel)
- Let the grill get HOT. Don’t add food to the grill before it’s hot. We want to grill our chicken breasts over medium-high heat so that they cook quickly and maintain their moisture.
- Don’t over cook. Chicken breast halves should cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. To test for doneness, use your finger or the tongs to poke the chicken and if it feels squishy, it needs to cook longer.
Toppings for Chicken Burgers:
- Guacamole
- Onion
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Cheese
- Pickle
Are Chicken Burgers Healthy?
Grilled chicken burgers are almost always lower in total calories, fat and saturated fat than fried chicken burgers or beef hamburgers. You can also make your burger healthier by avoiding the added sugar and fat found in special sauces, mayo, and ketchup. To make them even healthier, skip the bun and serve them inside a large lettuce leaf.
