Description
Savory Apple Butter Onion Chicken Burgers for Grilling Fun
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- 1/2 cup Panko Bread Crumbs (gluten-free options available)
- 1/2 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter (high-quality is best)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (can substitute with parsley)
- 1 tsp Cumin (adjust based on heat preference)
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika (adjust as desired)
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt (adjust based on dietary needs)
- 1/2 tsp Ground Pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup Grated Smoked Gouda Cheese (or regular Gouda)
- 1 medium Sweet Onion (or red onion)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil (or any cooking oil)
- 4 pieces Burger Buns (whole wheat or gluten-free options available)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, panko bread crumbs, apple butter, fresh cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form the mixture into 4 large patties or 6 small sliders, ensuring they are uniformly thick for even cooking.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Cook the burgers for 8-10 minutes per side until fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers until they are golden brown on both sides and completely cooked through.
- Once the burgers are nearly done, place grated smoked Gouda cheese on top and cover for a minute, allowing it to melt beautifully.
- Slice the sweet onion and sauté in olive oil over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, cooking for about 20 minutes until soft and golden. Stir in a little apple butter to keep warm and add flavor.
- Place the cooked patties onto burger buns and generously top with the apple butter caramelized onions.
