Servings 4 Burgers
Ingredients
Buffalo Chicken Burgers
- 1 lb ground chicken 92% lean
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoon buffalo sauce + more for serving
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or vegetable oil
- 4 burger buns
- lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
Whipped Goat Cheese
- 2 oz soft goat cheese room temperature
- 1½ tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ clove garlic minced
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the goat cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, and a pinch of salt in a food processor or mixing bowl. Blend with a food processor or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water to loosen it.
- In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, and buffalo sauce. Mix just until combined, don’t overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into 4 portions and shape into ½-inch-thick patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it heat for a few minutes. Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes without moving, until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Lightly toast the burger buns in a skillet or toaster until golden.
- Spread whipped goat cheese on the buns, then add the burger, lettuce, and tomato and extra buffalo sauce. Serve immediately.
Ground chicken can be soft and sticky. Do your best to form an even patty, or roll the mixture into a ball, place it into your skillet, and gently press it flat with an oiled spatula or parchment paper.
