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.

These look amazing and what a great entry to this month’s Tasty Tools! Thanks for your submission! 🙂
Ooohhh….I love sun dried tomatoes & goat cheese, I’ll have to try these.
Wow! Delicious!!!! I’m totally gonna have to make these!
I am a sucker for sundried tomatoes and basil. And I host a lot and this looks like a great app to have. Thanks,
These look cute and delish! You’ve turned me into a big fan of goat cheese. So mild and tasty!
So glad you’re starting to like goat cheese Steph – I live on it since it’s easier for me to digest than cow’s milk cheese.
love this! i am a vegetarian and i married a carnivore (www.cooking4carnivores.com) and i am always looking for ways to sneak him vegetables. i think a little spinach in these would do the trick. thanks for the idea!
These look wonderful! I love goat cheese…yum!
This looks great – I love all the ingredients!
