Chicken Burgers

This is my favorite chicken burger recipe. If you like burgers but don't eat beef or ground turkey, this is an excellent alternative:

Chicken Burgers

1 lb ground chicken breast
1/2 Cup finely chopped green onions
1 TBSP chile paste
2 tsp grated, fresh ginger
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
4 hamburger buns
1 cup alfalfa sprouts (optional)

Note: If you can't find ground chicken, you can grind your own boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a food processor but it is a very sticky mess!

Place chicken, onions, chile paste, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and salt in a bowl. Divide into 4 patties. Place on grill rack, coated with cooking spray. These burgers are very sticky, so I actually put them on a cookie sheet or other pan on the grill. Grill 4 minutes on each side, or until done. Place on buns and top with alfalfa sprouts. I also add a bit of Thai peanut sauce on mine! YUM!!
