A chicken burger the whole family enjoys! Natasha is my eldest daughter, and her eyes light up when I announce we’re having these for dinner. The onion can be finely chopped, but with three kids, we prefer grating it so as to hide it. I usually serve these with mashed potatoes and Caesar salad for a very comforting meal!

?I added some dried parsley flakes to the mixture and some grated Parmesan cheese to the bread crumb coating,? says CookinLovin. ?Served on French-style buns with lettuce, mayo, and honey mustard and a side of onion rings. YUM!?
?Really simple and quick — dinner was ready way earlier than I’d planned,? says Rusty Brown. ?Came out great! The cooking instructions of 5-6 minutes per side were just right.?

Really good. I used a whole onion instead of a half. I used sweet red chili sauce, as a condiment, and they were great. My wife loved them too.
-
I added a heaping teaspoon of Stacey’s Hamburger Seasoning (the recipe is also on this site) to the burger mixture. I also let the mixture rest for a few minutes burger mix before forming into patties. These patties were not bad–I think the added seasoning helped them. These were extremely economical and simple to make.
-
excellent. didn’t change a thing.
-
Good way to get away from plain old burgers. Def having this again.
-
These were delicious. I used 2 chicken breasts which made 4 solid patties. I used about a teaspoon of salt, only used a quarter onion, personal preference. My 7 year old liked it! With cheese, mayo, Dijon mustard, spinach lettuce and tomato on a pretzel bun 🙂
-
Before seeing this recipe I used the exact recipe I use for making my Italian meatballs and the only differences between that recipe and this one is,I used a 1/4 cup of milk and fresh parsley. Also, I don’t bread them. The next time I make them I’ll add some sort of heat factor. I pattied mine up the day before and allowed the flavors to marinate. #Yum
-
It was a great recipe! I did add chopped green pepper and used
crushed saltine crackers in place of the bread crumbs. -
If I could give this 3.5 stars I would. Taste was fine but to get the wet mixture to kind of form into shape took the entire 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.
-
This will be my second time making these burgers! They are so amazing. Its the perfect amount of flavor on a bun and super easy to make! Thank you so much for a tasty dinner idea!
-
Delicious, I didn’t have any great expectations as the recipe looked so simple. Sometimes simple is awesome and that was what happened here. My only sub was regular bread crumbs , adding Italian seasoning t hat since I didn’t have preseasoned crumbs, These are great as a slider or just by themselves
-
5 yo loved it!
-
I have made this recipe many, many times. We love it. I do add more bread crumbs and cook them on a Foreman grill.
-
Amazing flavor and very well liked at my dinner table!
-
My family loves this recipe! I don’t normally like ground chicken, but LOVE this recipe for it!
-
I?ve made this recipe a few times. Parties never fully cooked through in the pan. Tried partially frying and then baked them at 350. I finally figured out the best way?just bake. Grease the baking sheet and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Patties were perfect and not at all greasy.
-
Great instructions. Short and sweet recipe but it needed some salt and pepper to make it perfect. My toddler and I loved it!!!
-
I loved these burgers. They were easy to make and very tasty and I would definitely make these again. Hint: If you mix the egg into the chicken and let it sit for a few minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients it tends to be less sticky.

My husband is a huge red ,eat eater. He loves his burgers. Since I can no longer eat rad meat, he thought he would try this with me. It surprised me because he said he didn?t like chicken/turkey burgers fryer the last time I made them. He raved about these for days and even printed out the recipe! We will definitely be having these often this summer! We did not cook in oil, but used a cast iron pan with olive oil cooking spray! Amazing burgers!!!
-
I used a little panko with lemon pepper I had on hand. I did add an extra 1/4 cup of panko to stop from the wetness. Very good recipe. I would make again. All the onion adds a good crunch! Served on onion rolls with some spicy mustard, red onions, and pickles!
-
This is absolutely the best chicken burger recipe I?ve made!! My wife told me to stick to this from here on!! So flavourful and tasty!!!
-
Delicious! I didn?t have onions on hand so I used onion powder and they turned out great. Topped with Muenster cheese, lettuce and mayo. Definitely going to make these on the regular.
-
Delicious, Quick and Easy! In order hold the shape, I did have to make extra of the breadcrumb filling and also added some panko. Also to the meat mixture I added a little shallot along with the onion and some fresh chopped basil. They were delicious!! Thank you for this easy, healthy recipe!!!
-
Fantastic recipe! Very easy to make. Made these burgers a few days ago, everyone absolutely loved them! My boyfriend says they?re the best chicken burgers in Shanghai. Thanks very much for sharing!
-
This was my first time making chicken burgers and they came out great! Easy to make with simple ingredients I always have on hand. Followed the recipe and they were very tasty. I think it pairs well with a crunchy slightly acidic side like cucumber salad or cole slaw. Will likely become one of my go-to dinners. I can add variety by easily changing the seasoning .too!
-
I made this with Italian Panko crumbs and it was absolutely delicious! Both boys (4 and 1) scarfed it down!
-
I’ve made this a few times and we love it!!!
-
Omgosh, this was amazing!!! Plan to make this again in the future. Only thing we changed was to add 1/2 cup of quick oats and to use boneless skinless chicken thigh meat instead of ground chicken
-
I didn?t have regular hamburger buns, so I formed mine into squares to make chicken patty melts (I used Colby jack cheese) and they were delicious!!
-
Made it as is, Only flavor, was the spices added. Really quite bland. Might be ok for someone who can’t eat red meat. I won’t make it again.
-
Very delicious! I used a bit more bread crumbs as some other reviewers mentioned.Thanks for sharing. Will definitely make again.
-
I made these tonight and they were great!
I added some diced green peppers and a jalapeno to give it a little heat!
Thanks for sharing!
-
These are great. I made this recipe x4 and cooked all the patties, let them sit to cool then stacked them into a ziplock and put them in my deep freezer. The next day I microwaved 1 minute each side. While this recipe replaces my need for the Don Lee chicken burgers (That costco isn’t selling anymore…) I did find them to be a little bland. I will be adding a little taco seasoning next time or a little more salt. I also did not coat the patties in crumbs, I just added it all to the mix. Great recipe all around though.
-
These were super quick and easy to make. They were also delicious. My nine-year old at four nice sized burgers. I will play with the ingredients to switch up the flavors, but this recipe will definitely be in our rotation.
-
I was very impressed! Trying to eat healthier and noticed this recipe. Extremely quick and easy to make. They were very good and plan on making them again.
-
Great recipe. I didn’t coat with breadcrumbs. For those who said mixture was too mushy, I whisked the egg and poured in half, and it was perfect. Also recommend putting them on wax paper or something similar, because the patties will stick to a plate and be a bit difficult to pick up, if made in advance.
-
These were really easy, and good!
-
I cooked mine covered, low and slow. I left the egg out and the texture was perfect.
-
Very good!! After making my own chicken patties, these will be the only ones we will eat from now on.
I left out the garlic as I wasn’t in the mood for garlic. I added 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for a little zip. It’s very good!
I used Panko Italian bread crumbs in the chicken patty mixture and plain Panko bread crumbs mixed with a little Italian Panko bread crumbs for the coating.
Make sure you cook until the inside temperature is 165 degrees or higher. I always like to cook my chicken a little higher. You can finish in the oven if the coating is done but the temp isn’t 165 yet. -
Big hit! Only big deviation from directions is we grilled the burgers. Great taste and texture.
-
I cooked them on my Powerhouse grill with no oil! They were amazing!
-
Really loved these. I made these basically according to recipe though I did do a combination of oat and almond flour instead If bread crumbs. They were so good. Sticky going into the pan but no problems with sticking as they cooked.
-
Love it
-
We loved it!! I made some slight mods though. I didn’t love the idea of grated onion instead I added onion powder about 1tsb, then I chopped up some green onion and Red pepper very finely and added that. I already had 2lbs of Chicken out so I doubled the recipe but only added one whole egg and one egg white. They were absolutely delicious. I cooked 5 and froze the other 3, but now I wished I had cooked all 8. We will definitely be keeping this little gem for another time.
-
So yummy! Cooked in the grill instead of stove top. I sprayed them with olive oil cooking spray so the bedding would cook ok and they were delicious!
-
Very moist and nicely seasoned. I didn’t have Italian bread crumbs so used panko with 1/2 tsp of Italian herbs. I can see using this recipe, taking out the herbs and putting in soy sauce and chili garlic sauce to make it spicy just to mix it up. Just a great base recipe.
-
Just delicious!
-
We usually make turkey burgers but ground chicken breast was on sale this time ? so I decided to try this recipe. They were the best burgers we have had in years! The only change I made to the recipe was to not use breadcrumbs but instead to use ground up crackers. The grated onion makes all the difference. I put in a little bit of fresh parsley and they were heavenly!
-
I mostly followed this recipe. I use a bit more bread crumbs and panko. I make the panko into a finer crumb. My family love love loves this recipe. I always make extra. My future son in law has asked for this recipe, it?s challenging for him, or so he says. I think he doesn?t enjoy cooking and always asks me to make extra so I send him home with another 2 or so meals for the week. Thanks so much for this recipe!!??
-
Made it per instructions. Really simple and quick–dinner was ready way earlier than I’d planned. Came out great! The cooking instructions of 5-6 minutes per side were just right. Patties came out thoroughly browned, but about 175 inside. Daughter announced a couple of bites in that she was definitely aboard for seconds.
-
It was a hit. Followed the recipe exactly
-
Simple and delicious
-
I made these in the air fryer. I kept the ingredients the same. They we?re good and 9 year old kid approved!
-
I’ve made this recipe on so many nights, I’ve had to double and triple it for different occasions and it never ceases to fail! I did not (and will not) change anything! It has become a family favorite!!!!
-
I added some more spices – some steak spice and onion salt and added a little cheddar on the top before serving – otherwise, followed the recipe and it was so good my husband kept saying “these are really good” and even “we need to eat these more often” and that’s coming from a die-hard beef burger fan! They’re good! I will make them again.
-
I really loved this recipe! Great for watching your weight (or cholestrol, like me) and can be served on a bed of lettuce. I should have made pickeled onions, oh well next time. I did serve with coleslaw that I made though. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture.
-
These are great! I used a little less onion and very little garlic (family is not a fan of too much garlic).
Easy to put together. A go-to meal in our house now. The recipe translates well to increasing ingredients to make more burgers. -
Firm, good texture and taste. Made it twice now, family favorite, so far.
-
My daughter wanted to try something new, we are not big beef eater’s they turned out really good
-
I added some dried parsley flakes to the mixture and some grated Parmesan cheese to the bread crumb coating. Served on French style buns with lettuce, mayo and honey mustard and a side of onion rings. YUM!
-
Easy to make and good.
My 8 year old liked it too. -
Made it how the recipe said. Except I just grabbed a handful of meat and made it into a pattie. Tastes great!!
-
I would add a bunch of grated Asiago cheese for flavour, and an egg or two mixed in to keep the patties together as someone complained they were falling apart. My preference would be to use ground turkey rather than chicken but that is just my own tastes jumping in.
-
I made these tonight Love em. I can’t have garlic so omitted it. Thanks for sharing. I have IBS and this was perfect and easy
-
The recipe was delicious. I made four quarter pound burgers. I used chopped red bell pepper, white onion and the seasonings. I cooked 7 minutes on one side and 3-4 minutes after flipping. I will make this again.
-
Really tasty and moist! Delicious!
