Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 burger buns, toasted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped mushrooms, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.

The mushrooms add a umami depth that makes these burgers stand out, while keeping them moist and tender. Perfect for when you’re craving something hearty but not too heavy.

Tip: For an extra flavor boost, sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the chicken mixture.
