Ingredients: 1 lb ground chicken. 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup breadcrumbs gluten-free if needed. 1 egg. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/4 tsp black pepper. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. 4 gluten-free burger buns. 4 lettuce leaves. 4 tomato slices. SunButter Satay Sauce:. 1/4 cup SunButter sunflower seed butter. 2 tbsp coconut aminos. 2 tbsp lime juice. 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for vegan option. 1 tsp minced ginger. 1/2 tsp sriracha sauce adjust to taste. Water as needed to thin the sauce.
Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped red onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Grease the grill grates or griddle with oil to prevent sticking. Place the chicken patties on the grill or griddle and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165F 75C. While the chicken burgers are cooking, prepare the SunButter Satay Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together SunButter, coconut aminos, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, minced ginger, and sriracha sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add water a little at a time to reach your desired consistency. Once the chicken burgers are done, assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a gluten-free bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a generous drizzle of SunButter Satay Sauce. Serve the Chicken Burgers with SunButter Satay Sauce with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
