Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken (93% lean)
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Condiments of choice (e.g., mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Chill the patties in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

  4. 4

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil.

  5. 5

    Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until their internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. 6

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  7. 7

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Assemble the burgers by layering the patties with lettuce, tomato slices, and your desired condiments on the toasted buns. Serve immediately.

Chef's tip

For an extra flavor boost, try adding a dash of smoked paprika or a sprinkle of fresh herbs to the chicken mixture. Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a garden salad for a complete meal.
