Ingredients

Chicken Burgers

  • 1 lb 90/10 ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup Cabot Classic Cut Shredded Cheddar Cheese (56 grams)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion (40 grams)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (12 grams)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Grey Poupon Country Dijon Mustard (23 grams)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • 4 Wegmans Brioche Rolls (296 grams)
  • 4 slices Wegmans Thin Sliced Colby Jack Cheese (92 grams)
  • 4 leaves green leaf lettuce, washed and trimmed (80 grams)
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced (120 grams)
  • 4 slices red onion (56 grams)
  • 1/2 cup Ultimate Homemade Burger Sauce (4 fl oz)

Instructions

  • Add all burger ingredients to a bowl and mix with hands just until ingredients are incorporated evenly into the chicken. Form 4 burger patties and place on a parchment lined baking sheet, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  • Place a cleaned grill topper on top of the grill grates, then pre-heat grill to about 430°F.
  • Once grill is pre-heated, bunch up a paper towel with a pair of grill tongs; dip it in a bowl of vegetable oil (you need the higher smoke point of vegetable oil as opposed to olive oil); and then run it over the hot, clean grates or grill topper to create a nonstick surface. 
  • Once the burger patties have rested in the refrigerator, flip them onto the oiled grill topper. Grill 6 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Top burgers with cheese during last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking to melt cheese. Serve with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and burger sauce on a brioche bun.

Notes

  • The burger mixture will be very sticky, so don't skip refrigerating the patties before grilling. Be sure to check out all my tips in the post for how to make amazing chicken burgers!
