Flavorful Thai Chicken Burger

                    Holy cow! Honestly when I was thinking chicken burger I really wasn't thinking it was going to have much taste at all. I have had turkey and chicken burgers before and they were always missing that pizzaz that most beef burgers have. The great thing about this recipe is that it has everything that a beef burger does without all of the health side effects and the heavy feeling you feel after you eat one. So this how you make this delicious chicken burger…

What you will need:

• 1 pound of ground chicken
• 2 cloves of garlic, very finely minced
• 2/3 cup of cilantro, finely chopped
• 2 shallots, very finely minced
• 1 teaspoon very finely minced red chili
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola, grape seed, or safflower oil)

Directions:

• Throughly mix the chicken with the garlic, cilantro, shallots, red chili, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. 

• Form the mixture into 4 burgers each about 3/4 inch thick

• Heat a grill or stove top pan to medium heat. 
• Rub each burger with the oil
• Grill for about 8 minutes on the first side, and about 5 minutes on the other side.
• I used a George Foreman grill and cooked until center was no longer pink. About 5 minutes.

This serves 4 people. Serve with a side salad or on a gluten-free bun. :)

***Remember this is chicken so it can not have any pink in the middle of the burger. ***
