Steps

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, onions, parsley, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined, but don't over mix.

  2. 2

    Form the mixture into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Press down in the middle of each patty with your thumb so they don't puff up while cooking.

  3. 3

    Preheat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

  4. 4

    Once the pan is hot, add the chicken burgers and cook about 5-6 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook another 5-6 minutes on the other side.

  5. 5

    Check with a meat thermometer that the internal temperature reaches 165°F. If they need more time, reduce the heat slightly and continue cooking until fully done.

  6. 6

    Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

Creator's notes

The thumbprint in the center of each patty keeps the burgers from puffing up as they cook, and the mayonnaise helps keep lean ground chicken juicy.
