Cilantro Chicken Burgers
One of my favorite things about blogging is all the wonderful people I’ve had the opportunity to meet. One of these people is Cara. As an added bonus, she lives near Boston so I’ve had the chance to meet her, cook with her in her kitchen, and eat at an event that she catered. If you ever need a healthy idea for dinner, check her blog. She mixes flavors that I would never think to mostly because I’m not very a confident cook. Everything I’ve tried from her blog has been great.
This recipe is no exception. I didn’t have any tequila in the house, so I left it out, but I will definitely be making these again. I doubled the recipe and froze half of them to have later. I topped the burgers with some drunken peppers and served them on some sandwich thins (love those things!)
One Year Ago: Creme Brulee
Cilantro Chicken Burgers
Yield: 6-8
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
4 large clove of garlic, minced
2/3 cup roughly chopped cilantro
zest from 1 lime
dash of lite soy sauce
freshly ground salt & pepper
1/2 cup plain oatmeal
Directions:
Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the burger ingredients in a food processor and pulse several times, until chicken is uniformly ground. Remove and divide into 6 or 8 portions. Shape each into a ball, place on the baking sheet, and flatten with your palm.
Broil the burgers for about 10-12 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Serve on buns with sauteed peppers and onions.

This is a wonderful idea. I have never thought of using sweet potatoes in veggie burgers and I am thinking about it now.

Definitely check them out. Sweet potato veggie burgers are where it’s at!
I’ve tried these and love them! however, how do you make them look so good and stay together? Mine are really wet (even after adding a lot more flour) and stick like crazy to my skillet. Any suggestions?
