Baked Chicken Burger Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
• Burger buns
• Lettuce leaves
• Tomato slices
• Red onion slices
• Avocado slices
• Mayonnaise or your favorite sauce

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Prepare the Chicken Burger Mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Form the Burger Patties:

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties of your desired size. Ensure that the patties are evenly shaped and compacted to hold together during baking.

Bake the Burger Patties:

Place the chicken burger patties onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the patties with olive oil to help them brown.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the burgers are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Assemble the Burgers:

• Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
• Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a baked chicken burger patty.
• Add tomato slices, red onion slices, avocado slices, and any other desired toppings on top of the patty.
• Spread mayonnaise or your preferred sauce on the top half of the bun, then place it over the toppings.

Serve the baked chicken burgers immediately, accompanied by your favorite sides like baked sweet potato fries, coleslaw, or a mixed green salad.
