Orange Chicken Burgers

Orange Chicken Burgers

a fresh twist to the burger

As I have been on a roll with meals on a bun this summer, I thought I would add a chicken burger to the mix. If you are not a fan of chicken burgers, you can substitute the chicken with turkey or pork instead. This is a fresh tasting burger that will win the praise of fans. Finish this burger off with a yummy treat and try my easy and fun Rainbow Rice Krispies Treats.

For another great burger recipe with some citrus zest try my Cuban Burger.

cooking information

Yield: 4 4oz Burgers
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes

all ingredients

1 Pound Ground Chicken
1 Tablespoon Herbs de Provence
1 Orange, the zest
1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 Cup Mayonnaise
1/2 Cup Mint, finely chopped
4 Sesame Buns
4 Slices of Orange

recipe instruction

1. In a medium-sized bowl, add the ground chicken, herbs de’ Provence, salt, and the zest of one orange (be sure to read the tips). Mix together with your hands and set aside. Be sure to wash your hands!

2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with mint. Set aside.

3. In a non-stick skillet, on medium heat, heat 1T of olive oil and then add your burger. Be careful – when oil is hot it pops. If your burgers are thicker, cook for about 7 minutes per side. If they are a bit more thin, cook for about 4 minutes per side. You will know when they are finished when they are no longer pink in the center.

4. To assemble, place your burger on the bottom half of a sesame bun, and top with an orange slice. Smear some mint-mayonnaise on the bun lid, and place on top of the burger. Enjoy!

cooking tips

You can always substitute turkey, beef or pork for the chicken.
Resist the urge to press on your burger and flip it multiple times! Doing that will release the juices.
