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!)

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.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
if looks are anything, this looks REALLY good
I agree — this looks great! Do you mind me asking how long it took to prepare?
newlywed – I think this took Hubby a little over an hour to make. But you could def chop all the veggies ahead of time and make the gremolata in advance as well. That would help cut down the time for sure.
I love osso bucco and I really like the idea of this lightened version. Yum!
I love gremolata’s – they really make a dish pop! I did a walnut, lemon zest and cilantro to top a celery root soup – it made the soup!
