Ground Chicken method For Chicken Burgers

I found this yummy Ground Chicken recipe for Chicken Burgers and my family love it - especially the kids. It's full of flavour and lower in fat than a quarterly beef burger because it uses ground chicken breast meat which contains minimal fat. Get the kids to help you assemble the chicken burgers and even make their own sauces. The recipe contains optional extras like cheddar cheese to enclose in the chicken burger patties and chilli powder for an extra spicy taste.

Chicken Burger recipe Ingrediets

Bread Pan

oil, for cooking 1 large onion, finely chopped 750 g (1 1/2 lb) chicken mince 1 teaspoon paprika 1 - 2 teaspoons chopped red chilli (optional) 3/4 cup (60 g/2 oz) fresh breadcrumbs 1 egg, beaten 2 tablespoons chopped fresh lemon thyme or chives 6 slices of Cheddar cheese (optional) 30 g (1 oz) butter 1 -2 cloves garlic, crushed 6 crusty bread rolls lettuce, tomato, extra sour cream, pickled cucumbers and sweet chilli sauce, to serve
Fry the onion in a bit of the oil over medium heat until golden. Drain the onion on paper towels and cool slightly. This is where it gets messy. Wash you hands completely and then get ready to mix with your fingers. In a large bowl join the onion, chicken mince, paprika, chilli, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, lemon thyme and some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix it well using your hands. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into round balls. If you want a cheese burger then press a piece of cheese into the centre of each ball and mould the mixture to completely enclose the cheese. Flatten the balls slightly and shape to make chicken burger patties. Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic. When the mixture is foaming, add the patties, pressing with a spatula to flatten slightly. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the patties are nicely browned and the meat cooked through. If you put cheese in the middle then the cheese should be melted. Cut the bread rolls in half. Toast if you prefer and spread with a slight butter. Fill the rolls with lettuce and tomato slices, a chicken patty, sour cream, some pickled cucumbers and sweet chilli sauce.

Vegetarian Burger Recipes - wholesome yummy Burgers

Vegetarian burgers unlike burgers made of meat are a wholesome and stupendous food. There are some ways to make a vegetarian burger and I will list the way I like mine made.

The first is a vegetarian burger recipe, for one, that not everybody will like because it has onions:

Bread Pan

Ingredients:

1 small onion chopped fine
1 very small or half of a medium size bell pepper (green, red, yellow does not matter)
1 small shredded carrot
1 cup of cooked dark beans (drained can of kidney beans is fine)
salt and pepper to taste.

Procedure: Place chopped onions, peppers and shredded carrots into a bowl and add the beans. Mash all of the ingredients together thoroughly. The beans will act as the base for the burger retention all of the other ingredients together. Form into a burger. Dip the formed burger first into milk (vegans use soy milk) then into whether cracker, corn flake or bread crumbs. In a skillet heat about one tablespoon of olive oil. Place the burger into the olive oil to fry. Brown it on both sides and serve on a bun with a slice of tomato and some lettuce. If you love onions place a thin slice of onion on it too. You can serve this with any kind of side dish you like along with a slice of pickle.

The second is a vegetarian burger recipe for one that is a limited different and is not for the onion lover.

Ingredients:

1 very small or half of a medium size bell pepper chopped finely (green, red, yellow does not matter),
1 small shredded carrot,
1 small tomato diced
1 cup of cooked brown or white rice
salt and pepper to taste.

Procedure: Place the chopped pepper, shredded carrot and diced tomato into a bowl and add the 1 cup of cooked rice. Mash all of the ingredients together until firm and form into a burger. Fry in skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil. If you choose you may dip the burger into some milk (vegans use soy milk) and then into cracker crumbs corn flake or bread crumbs before you fry it but it is not requisite because the rice will brown. Serve on a bun with a slice of tomato and some lettuce. You may use any side dish you like with this burger along with slices of bread and butter pickles.

I use carrots to make this vegetarian burger recipe juicier. Although in these there is something about the carrot that makes the burger tastier. For variations on these recipes add other ingredients such as mushrooms, cooked mashed pumpkin or butternut squash or any other veggie that you enjoy. A incompatibility of these recipes makes for a much more enjoyable burger each time you make it and eat it.

The rice or beans in these recipes take the place of meat and add substance to the burger. The beans in this recipe is lower in calories but the rice is easier to form and cooks up more solidly thereby, production the consistency of these two burgers a limited different. These recipes comprise not only wholesome ingredients but they are tasty too. Try both of these vegetarian burger recipes and choose your own favorite.
