Lemon Basil Chicken Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Warm lemon juice. Add saffron threads. Let set aside to sit for at least 10 minutes until bright yellow.
• Empty ground chicken into a mixing bowl. Add egg white, crushed garlic, black pepper, sea salt, and dried basil. Add the lemon juice/saffron mixture. Mix until well blended.
• Separate the meat mixture into patties of desired size.
• Add a small amount of olive oil to a pan or skillet and grill the ground chicken patties until cooked all the way through (you may want to use a meat thermometer).
• Serve on toasted whole grain hamburger buns with fresh basil as a topping, along with any other hamburger toppings you desire.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Flatten slightly using the smooth side of a meat mallet. Dust both sides lightly with flour.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling. Saute chicken breasts until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Add chicken stock, lemon juice, basil, and lemon zest. Cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a warm platter. Cover loosely to keep warm. Boil remaining liquid over high heat, uncovered, until reduced to 1/2 cup. Spoon sauce over chicken.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the onions until softened, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Wipe out the skillet and reserve.
• Combine the chicken, basil, parsley, oregano, ricotta, garlic, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the cooled onions in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands. Splash your hands with some cold water and mold the chicken mixture into 4 patties.
• Combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the reserved skillet and cook the patties until they're cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side (see Cook's Note).
• Meanwhile, toast the buns in a toaster or on a dry pan and set aside.
• Spread the lemon mayo on each side of the buns. Place the bottom of the bun on a plate, top with the arugula, tomato, one patty, goat cheese and finally the top of the bun. Repeat with the remaining patties.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix the chicken, bread crumbs, egg, lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; form the mixture into 5 patties. Divide the feta cheese between the 5 patties; place a portion of the feta cheese atop each patty and fold the chicken mixture around the cheese so that the cheese is in the center.
• Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink on the inside and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
