Sammich Saturday: Middle Eastern Chicken Burger

September 22, 2012 by Jaida Leave a Comment

Welcome to Fall!! I won’t lie…I’m not really happy that summer is “officially” gone now, but the temps around here have been pretty nice lately. I guess some things really do change as we get older. Never in a million years would I have thought I’d be happy about cooler temps. Hmph. This over-30, changing business has me all out of sorts.

But, on the food front, I’ve been trying new things, expanding my horizons…whatever you want to call it…for awhile now, and that I am really enjoying. Hey, if you never try new things, how can you discover a new fabulous burger like this one??

 

I’ve had endless varities of beef burgers, and a few turkey burgers, but this was my first crack at a ground chicken burger. All I can say about this is…WHOA!! I’ve been missing out! And it’s not just an ordinary burger with chicken, the curry and garlic powders mixed into the meat, then topped with a tzatziki-type sauce, made this a very flavorful burger!! I was very pleasantly surprised, and now I want to come up with more chicken burger variations!!!

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and sauté onions for 4 minutes until tender and set aside to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions, ground chicken, salt, parsley, garlic and curry powder. Make four equal-sized patties.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, mint, cucumber and salt to make the sauce.
  4. Heat the remaining tbsp of oil in a pan and cook patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  5. Toast burger buns if you’d like, the top with a patty, sauce, and tomato slices.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
