Learn how to make juicy, flavorful chicken burgers with tips that guarantee moist results every time. This recipe covers everything from seasonings, add-ins like black beans, onions, bell peppers to the perfect cooking technique to make moist burgers every time.
In a large mixing bowl mix the ingredients with a large spoon just until all the ingredients are combined evenly. Do not over mix.
Divide into 5 or 6 equal size pieces and shape into burger shape. Place each chicken burger down onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Gently pat to slightly flatten into large chicken patties.
Cover with aluminum or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes so the soft chicken patties can chill and firm up.
Ready to cook: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Place the patties into the skillet and cook for 5 minutes on the first side or until the burger has turned a golden brown on the bottom. Flip the burgers over, place a lid on the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes longer or until completely cooked through the center. Insert an instant read thermometer into the center of one of the largest patties to check the temperature. The chicken burger is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 F. degrees.
Turn the heat off and place a slice of cheese on each burger and place the lid back on until the cheese has melted.
Serve on buns and add your favorite burger toppings.
