Description

Jamie Oliver’s Chicken Burger features a well-seasoned, juicy chicken patty made from fresh minced chicken, herbs, and spices. The burger is grilled or pan-fried to perfection, creating a crispy outside and a tender, moist interior. Served with classic toppings and a light sauce, this burger is a satisfying and healthier choice.


Ingredients

For the Chicken Patties

  • Minced Chicken (500g) – The base of the burger.
  • Breadcrumbs (50g) – Helps bind the patty and adds texture.
  • Egg (1, beaten) – Helps hold the ingredients together.
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced) – Adds aromatic flavor.
  • Fresh Parsley (2 tbsp, chopped) – Enhances freshness.
  • Paprika (1 tsp) – Adds a mild smoky flavor.
  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
  • Olive Oil (for cooking)

For the Burger Assembly

  • Burger Buns (4, lightly toasted) – Choose brioche or whole wheat.
  • Lettuce Leaves – Adds freshness and crunch.
  • Tomato Slices (1 large tomato, sliced) – Adds juiciness.
  • Red Onion (1 small, thinly sliced) – Gives a sharp, tangy bite.
  • Mayonnaise (4 tbsp) – For creaminess.
  • Mustard or Ketchup (optional, to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the chicken mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 2: Shape the patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round patty, slightly larger than the burger bun (as they shrink while cooking).

Step 3: Cook the patties

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

Step 4: Assemble the burgers

Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked chicken patty. Add tomato slices, red onion, and any additional condiments like mustard or ketchup. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy

Serve immediately with a side of fries, coleslaw, or a simple salad.
