Chicken burgers are my go-to when I’m craving that classic burger experience but want to keep things a little lighter. I keep mine juicy and flavorful with just a touch of mayo in the ground chicken mixture and add minced onions, parsley, and garlic. I find these chicken burgers to be just as satisfying – without the heaviness.
Table of contents
I know, I know… I can hear some of you already thinking, “But chicken burgers are dry!” Not these! With a little mayo mixed in, plus some breadcrumbs to hold it all together, the chicken burger patties stay juicy and moist!
Recipe At a Glance
Cuisine Inspiration: American
Primary Cooking Method: Grill or Stovetop
Dietary Info: Lean protein, dairy-free (with vegan mayo option)
Key Flavor: Savory with a hint of smokiness
Skill Level: Easy
Why This is So Good
- Quick & Easy: You can go from raw ground chicken to cooked chicken burger in about 20 minutes.
- Healthier Alternative: A leaner option than beef, but still just as satisfying with all the classic burger vibes.
- Hidden Veggies: Minced onions and fresh parsley not only add flavor but sneak in some extra veggies, making these burgers a little more wholesome.
Ingredients To Make Chicken Burgers
- Ground Chicken Breast: Lean and light ground chicken breasts are available at most grocery stores. If you can’t find them, you can always make your own by pulsing chicken breasts in a food processor.
- Italian Breadcrumbs: These help hold the patties together while adding a subtle herby flavor. They also keep the burgers from drying out as they cook.
- Mayonnaise: This is the secret to keeping these chicken burgers super juicy. A couple of tablespoons mixed in with the chicken locks in moisture and adds a hint of creaminess.
- Minced Onions & Garlic: These bring a punch of flavor, making the burgers more savory and well-rounded.
- Fresh Parsley: This adds a fresh, herby brightness that cuts through the richness of the chicken and mayo.
- Paprika: A little smoky, a little sweet, paprika gives the burgers flavor without overpowering them.
- Salt & Pepper: Classic seasonings that enhance all the flavors in the mix.
Toppings to Try
- Classic Lettuce & Tomato: You can’t go wrong with the fresh crunch of lettuce and juicy tomato slices.
- Red Onions: Thinly sliced red onions give a bit of sharpness and crunch, balancing out the richness of the chicken and mayo.
- Avocado Slices: For a creamy, healthy addition, add some sliced avocado. It adds a buttery texture that pairs well with the juicy chicken.
- Pickles: If you’re a fan of that tangy bite, pile on some pickles.
- Cheese: Whether it’s cheddar, pepper jack, or even a slice of gouda, adding cheese gives that extra indulgent layer of flavor.
- Spicy Mayo or Aioli: Want a little heat? Slather on some spicy mayo or aioli.
- Think outside the box: You can add smashed roasted garlic, toum, avocado crema, cucumber yogurt sauce, cilantro yogurt sauce, tzatziki and so much more!
Popular Substitutions & Additions
- Swap Ground Chicken for Turkey: If you don’t have ground chicken on hand or prefer turkey, you can easily make the switch. Ground turkey works just as well and keeps the burgers lean and flavorful.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo: If you aren’t a fan of mayo, you can still use Greek yogurt in your chicken burger to keep it moist. I do this sometimes when I’m making Grilled Greek Yogurt Chicken Burgers.
- Try Panko Instead of Breadcrumbs: For a crispier texture, swap out the Italian breadcrumbs for panko.
- Add Cheese: Mix in some shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or even a bit of feta for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess inside the burger itself.
- Spice it Up: If you like a little kick, add some cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mix. You can also top the finished burgers with spicy mayo or jalapeños for extra heat.
How to make homemade chicken burgers
- In a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients.
- Mix together until well combined, being careful not to overmix. It helps to use your hands to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form the mixture into 4-6 equal patties, depending on how large you’d like them.
- Cook the chicken burgers on the preheated grill, flipping halfway through. You want to cook until the patties are golden brown and cooked through. Then, you’re ready to assemble the chicken burgers with buns and toppings of choice.

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Burgers
- Press down in the middle of each patty with your thumb. This will help the burgers to cook evenly through and avoid shrinking.
- Use your hands to mix the the patties. It’s a little messier but the ingredients will combine much easier this way. You can wear tight fitting plastic cloves to keep your hands clean.
- Don’t over mix the chicken burger mixture. Everything should be just combined. If you over mix, the burgers can become tough and chewy.
- Once on the grill, don’t flatten the burger with a spatula. When you do this the meat will lose some of its juices. Just flip them, don’t be tempted to press them down.
What to Serve with Chicken Burgers
Frequently asked questions
Store any leftover cooked chicken burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can pop them in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, but for the best texture, reheat them in a skillet on the stove over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
Yes, you can freeze them before or after cooking for up to 3 months. To freeze, stack them between wax or parchment paper in a freezer-safe container. Alternatively, you can freeze them on a baking sheet, then place them all together in a ziplock bag. To re-heat, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stovetop or in the oven.
If you want a gluten-free option, you can substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, or crushed gluten-free crackers. Panko breadcrumbs are another option for a slightly crunchier texture.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F. This is the safest way to make sure your burgers are fully cooked through without being dry.

Best chicken burgers!
Thank you, Caroline! So happy you like them!!
I’ve made chicken burgers and few times before and stopped making them because they never turned out good. But this recipe is a THE BOMB!!! Juicy and full of flavour!! Thanks, Yumna!
Yay!! Aww, so happy you love it!! Thank you so much!
I needed a quick easy dinner, and this recipe was so good! I didn’t do burgers but just a quick salad and mushroom rice and dinner was ready. It will go into my regular rotation. I used a nonstick frying pan and it worked just fine. I agree with the comments regarding flavour….great!
Yay, so happy you liked it!! Thanks, Sharon!
Love these and grilled them over the summer. Can I oven bake these? If so at what temp and for how long? Thank you!
Yes, you can bake them in the oven! You can place them on a baking sheet and put them in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes at 400ºF. You will also want to check with a thermometer to make sure the burgers hit an internal temperature of 165ºF. Hope you enjoy!!
Wife loved flavor of the burgers. Fit her diet with the yogurt substitute.
Yay, I’m so glad! Thanks so much, Michael!
Can these be prepared in an air fryer?
Hi Kathy, I don’t see why not!
I’ve been making this recipe for a few years now, it’s my go to! The combination of flavours is very good. Flavourful, but not over the top. I use a mandolin to cut shallots super thin instead of onion, and sometimes I use turkey instead of chicken. Highly recommend.
I love your tweaks! So happy you love the recipe, Michelle. Thank you!!
My favorite recipe, the combination of flavors is perfect. I like it because it is versatile, definitely with the bread and all the toppings it is delicious, but I like it in the
breakfast without bread with an egg and cheese on top or at dinner with vegetables! THE BEST RECIPE!
Aww I’m so happy you love it, Dolly! I’ve never had it for breakfast, that sounds so good. Thanks for the inspiration!!
I love these chicken burgers. I just use paprika, turmeric, dry basil and onion flakes. VERY YUMMY
Yum, sounds so good! Thanks, Brenda!!

Let me know what you think when you do, Suzanne!
Fabulous recipe! Thanks for sharing it.
You’re welcome, Sam! So happy you liked it!
Amazing, I was always hesitant to make burgers from scratch but this was simple and turned out really well! 🙂
Aww, thank you! I’m so glad you found the recipe easy!!
I’ve made these a couple of times now. Each time I do, I get rave reviews and I ask myself why I don’t make them every week! These are the best chicken burgers I’ve ever had, and so simple to make.
Wow, that is so sweet of you to say! Thank you, Angie, I’m so happy you like them!!
Made these tonight, and they were a sure HIT!! Very great flavor! I did not want to fire up the Grill- so I added a little bit of breadcrumbs all around the patties before placing them in a hot pan with a little bit of olive oil. Flavor was amazing, and yes, they were moist. I love the variation comments below, so many different herbs that would be great, too. Thanks for the recipe- this will be used often!
I love that you were finding inspiration in the comments, I do too!! Sounds like your burgers turned out great. I’m so glad! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely fantastic!!! I did have to add an egg. Plus I added a bit of oregano and basil. Family loved it
Yum, the addition of oregano and basil sounds great! So happy you and you family enjoyed!!
These are delicious and easy to make. If you’re going low carb, I used shelled hemp hearts in place of the breadcrumbs and they were delicious!
Glad you liked them, Lydia!! Shelled hemp hearts sound like a great low-carb swap, thanks so much for sharing!
Best chicken burger I’ve ever had. I cooked them on a little indoor electric grill and they were perfect. Great flavor, moist texture, little bit crispy on the outsides. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you, Nina! That indoor grill sounds awesome. So glad you liked the burgers!!
I made these last night and they were delicious! We will definitely be making them again. Thanks for a great recipe.
Yay, so happy to hear it! Thanks, Rose!!
These are delicious 😋. My husband and I love them.
Yay, so happy you and your husband loved them!
I made these the other night, but I didn’t have Italian breadcrumbs. I added 1/2 Tsp. dried oregano to the mixture. When I made one in a skillet, it did slightly fall apart. I decided to reform the patties after adding 1 large egg. I also added a Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese to your recipe.
All in all, very tasty & I plan on using either ketchup or a homemade cilantro mint chutney on top in the sesame seed bun.
Oh wow, homemade cilantro mint chutney sounds so good!! What a delicious topping idea, thanks for sharing. I’m so glad you enjoyed the burgers and made them your own!
Great recipe I used half sour cream and half mayo and I used hemp hearts in place of the breadcrumbs to keep it low carb. It was delicious!
Yum, hemp hearts sound like a great low-carb substitute! So happy you liked the burgers, Lydia!
Last Christmas my grandson wanted some of my recipes, handwritten. I had this bookmarked on my phone. I told him it’s not my recipe, but it’s a recipe that’s very good. I added it to his cookbook. Making them again today. Going to put them out on the grill, for the first time.
Aww, I love that story! How sweet, thank you so much for sharing. I think these burgers are best on the grill—enjoy!!
Thanks for your this very nice recipe BUT you write in the tips “To make it gluten-free, you can use quick oats, almond flour or panko breadcrumbs.” Panko breadcrumbs? They are definitely not gluten-free. They are made from white bread; just processed differently.
Thanks so much for pointing that out, Greg! You’re absolutely right—I’ve removed that inaccurate gluten-free suggestion. I appreciate your help and I’m so glad you liked the recipe!!
You can purchase Gluten Free Panko Breadcrumbs. Available at most grocery stores!
Great recipe and very easy to adjust to your liking. The best way of cooking in my opinion is to put the patties in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up, then brown both sides on high heat in a cast iron pan. Once browned I throw the pan in the oven to finish. So yummy!
Great tip, Dave—thanks for sharing! So happy you enjoyed the recipe!
I am an old lady who has been cooking for over 60 years and have never commented on anything on the Internet, however I had to tell you how much my friends and family enjoyed these burgers! I did add fresh chopped parsley, and made them smaller for slider size buns. Also, I learned from making turkey burgers to pat them out and let them sit on foil for at least an hour in the fridge to firm up. I think the next ones I make I might try a mesquite seasoning.
Aww I’m so honored to be your first online comment!! Thank you for sharing, I’m so glad your friends and family enjoyed!
great in Pita! we make chicken burger Pitas with a corn avocado salad. so good. Thank you for this
Yay! So glad to hear it!
This recipe is excellent. I have already been telling people how good it is. I shape the burgers using a muffin scoop, so it makes about 8 small burgers, perfect for our family. I saute the burgers in a pan with some olive oil and they turn out great. Thanks for recipe.
The muffin tin tip is so smart, thanks for sharing!
This burger makes it easy to reduce my desire for red meat. I love hamburgers, but this chicken burger is amazing! Chick-fil-a could really use something like this.
So happy you enjoyed it!
These chicken burgers were absolutely to die for. The flavor, the texture, the condiments. Absolutely delicious! Great recipe. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Super easy to make and delicious! Did smoked paprika and added a dash of liquid smoke and it was great.
Yum, sounds great!
These burgers are delicious. I passed this recipe on to other family members. Love them!
So glad to hear!
Delicious! I have to limit beef so I tried these and they were great!
Happy you enjoyed them!
Holy cow. I am in disbelief of how delicious these are. I grilled them on my George Foreman. So quick and easy and absolutely delicious. I used jalapeño salsa instead of the onion and that added some excitement to it.
Sounds delicious!
Great flavor, loved it. Will be making again!
So glad you liked these burgers!
These Chicken Burgers are delicious!! I am allergic to mammal meat so can’t eat a regular beef burger. These really hit the spot! So tasty & easy to make. The first time I made them I was out of bread crumbs so used quick oats instead & it worked great so that’s what I’ve done going forward. You can add any seasonings you prefer. I just cook them in an oiled skillet on the stove but grilled would be delicious also. Thank you so much for this tasty recipe.
So glad you enjoyed them!
I love these burgers ❤️
Me too!! Glad you have enjoyed the recipe.
I. Made these burgers as thick sausage shapes and grilled them with a few sprays of rapeseed oil.
They were totally delicious. I used one egg to bind them in place of the Mayo – personal preference.
We wrapped them in sweet gem lettuce leaves in place is burger buns and the result was a very tasty, low carb, crunchy dinner that was very filling!
Sounds amazing, thanks for sharing!
My family loved this
Yay! So happy to hear.
They are delish!! I have been making these almost once a week for the past few months! I use gluten free breadcrumbs.
I’ve used a 6-in-1 Ninja foodie indoor grill but prefer just frying them on a pan. THANKS!
Wow, so happy they have become a dinner time staple for you!
I am so not the type to comment on recipes but after trying this recipe out I knew I needed to write one. I am a nanny to two VERY picky eaters. They almost never like anything I make them and are very much Mac & cheese kids. These burgers, however, were a HIT. I mean, asking for thirds HIT. Will definitely enter my regular rotation and I encourage you try them out on your picky eaters.
Wow, this is the best feedback ever. So happy everyone enjoyed them!
Thank you for this easy and tasty chicken burger recipe… perfect for any meal and school lunch. The burger is juicy and delicious. My family’s favorite food now
Yay, so glad the family loves these!
Hi! Can you tell me if it’s dried minced onion or fresh? Or either? Thank you in advance!
Hi there! This would be fresh minced onion. Thanks!
I’ve made these a couple of times and they are wonderful. I didn’t change a thing in the recipe. They come out perfect every time. Moist and gull of flavor. Just like you said.
Thanks for sharing!
Mark
Thank you so much, Mark!!
Wow seriously amazing!! Thank you for the easy and quick recipe!!
We loved this recipe! Delicious and simple ingredients. I’m wondering if you’ve tried using ground turkey instead of chicken? If so, any changes? Thanks in advance!
I make these regularly this is such a great recipe. Have used mayo and egg and both turned out great I couldn’t taste the difference so I use egg now to keep the fat content down.
Yay, so glad you like the recipe!
Delicious! These are going on my regular rotation for sure. Ate them with bun tonight but I can fit these in my macros eating just the patty with some rice. Thanks for the recipe!
Yay, so glad you enjoyed them!
Hi 🙂 thank you so much for this recipe! I was going to make chicken burgers from scratch the other night but was nervous about it as it had been long since i made homemade burgers but your recipe was super quick, easy and understandable. I somehow missed the substitution section and as I don’t eat mayo I just left it out (and didn’t put the egg or sour cream but next time I probably will). My favorite part of your recipe though was the note that it can go in the oven! Yessss! It was soooo much less stressful to me and everyone loved them. I am likely to double or triple the recipe next time! And again do it in the oven.
Well wishes to you 🙂
So happy these were a hit and easy for you to make!
Can I cook them in a pan or oven and if so what temperature and how long ?
Yes! You can bake them in the oven too. Place them on a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven at 400F for about 20 minutes. If you prefer stove top I would do a medium heat and each side for about 10 minutes. You will want to check with a thermometer to make sure the burgers hit an internal temperature of 165F. Hope you enjoy, Marla!
We had some frozen mince left over so we decided to make some burgers, my partner found this recipe. We had to double the bread crumbs as it wasn’t binding too well but could have been from the mince being frozen and releasing more fluid.
Recipe was delicious, the burgers were really tasty and they held their shape amazingly. Nice work!
So glad you both liked it!
Made this. Twice. Had to. The first batch disappeared in minutes. Fortunately I had extra mince. Very very tasty. Thank you very much for sharing. Its now a family staple.
So happy to hear that!!
My kids loved them.
So happy to hear that!
Turned out great! Easy and flavorful.
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Excellent recipe! Really easy and adaptable (we used a bit more onion and a bit less garlic because of what we had).
Just a thought from the note for gluten free options: Pablo breadcrumbs are not gluten free by default. They’re made from a Japanese style of bread but unless it says so explicitly it’ll have gluten.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. It was very easy and quick to make but more importantly it was very tasty. I’ve made chicken burgers many times before but had given up because of their blandness. I shouldn’t really be eating mayonnaise but as the chicken mince is so low in fat it balances itself out. I might try the yoghurt version next time but I suspect I will have to up the spices to compensate for the taste.
Thanks again
You’re so welcome!
So good! I used smoked paprika instead of regular. Will make again!
Thank you so much!
delicious!
very easy to make
Thanks so much!
Best chicken burger!
Thanks so much!
This tasted so good! This will be in our rotation of meals. I cut it up for my 15 month old and 4 year old daughters. They loved it with their ketchup.
So glad everyone liked it!
Wow— probably the best chicken burgers I have made! I was skeptical of the Greek yogurt but it really made the burgers moist. Thanks for a keeper!
So glad you liked them!
Where is there Greek yogurt in the ingredients list?
Hi Paige, I have another chicken burger recipe that uses Greek Yogurt you can find it here:https://feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/grilled-chicken-burger/! I think they may have pulled up the wrong recipe when they went to comment. 🙂
Absolutely delicious. A new favorite. So easy to make and grilled perfectly. I had neither fresh parsely nor Italian breadcrumbs, so I used a tablespoon of dried Herbs de Provence and regular breadcrumbs.
Love that you used Herbs de Provence! Great sub!
I just want to ask, 272kcal for each patty or for the whole recipe? Thanks in advance!
Hi Alex, great question! That is for the patty only. You’ll have to let me know what you think when you make them!
100 out of 5 (actually higher) – top class, best I have ever tasted! Here from the land down under (Australia) we love our burgers. I have decided to never buy shop bought patties (beef, chicken/other) again. After making these I could not believe the flavour, they were moist and cooked so easily. I made BLT burgers – chicken pattie, rindless bacon, lettuce, tomato & added sliced red onion with aioli on burger buns. Cooked the bacon first and with the small amount of leftover fat, I cooked the patties in a non-stick pan. I love this site, and Yumna you are a genius. Every recipe I have tried is amazing. Suggest everyone to stop looking for recipes on other sites and stay here – you will never be disappointed. Yumna’s recipes are simply outstanding – they are foolproof and work every time. Thank you so much Yumna for sharing your beautiful recipes with all of us – you are a legend!! XX
Thank you so much, Narelle for the kind words!!
This recipe has me drooling, I can’t wait to try it. I just know by the recipe and the reviews that it’s going to be delicious. This recipe came right on time, I just bought my first container of ground chicken!
You’ll have to let me know what you think when you make it, Tami!
Could you use ground chicken thighs in this recipe?
I don’t see why not, but chicken thighs tend to be higher in fat so it may be greasy.
I’m making this tonight but I need clarification. When you say minced onions, do you mean dried or mince fresh onions.?
I’m going to wing it for now….. thank you.
Hope they turned out well! Fresh minced onions is what I like to use.
Made these for the 4th of July and love l loved them! For toppings we did dijon, goat cheese, arugula, and red onion.
Oo I love the idea of the goat cheese and Dijon with the onions.. sounds so good!
DELICIOUS!! So much flavor!!!
A 4th of July winner!!
Thank you so much, Val!
Wanted something different today and only had ground chicken. Loved the way these burgers turned out and will definitely make again. Also surprised how nicely the cooked on the grill.
So glad you liked them, Diana!
These are delicious! I used coriander because I didn’t have parsley and a grain free panko. So so so good! My new favorite.
So glad you enjoyed it, JJ!
These burgers are sooo good! I followed the recipe except I substituted spicy breadcrumbs for the Italian because that’s all I had. These are so moist and hold together. They freeze well also. Now to try the Italian breadcrumbs in the burgers. I prefer these over a beef burger.
Oo the spicy breadcrumbs sound yummy!
I’ve tried many other recipes in the past but this one was by far the family favorite! Moist yet holds together and sooooo tasty! This will be the go-to recipe from now on.
Thank you so much! So glad you and your family liked it!
These are SO good! I prefer these burgers over hamburgers now!
So happy to hear that you liked them, Liz!
Really good Summer dinner!! I skipped the bun and served over a bed of lettuce with cold raw vegetables. It’s a keeper for us!
So glad you liked it, Rainee!
Can you prepare them with the mayo etc then freeze them.
You sure can!
Love these!! Simple and quick to make. Great flavor
Thank you so much, Corinne!
SOOO delicious!! I made the recipe as written with the exception of seasoned gluten free breadcrumbs instead of regular and a squirt of Worstershire sauce. I made a garlic aioli to go with it as well which is basically mayo, fresh garlic, and lemon juice. I highly recommend this recipe.
Thank you so much, Vanessa! So glad you liked the chicken burgers!
These chicken burgers are very moist and really good! I did add a bit of the Dano’s seasoning as my family really likes it but that was the only adjustment I made. Grilled on medium high for 10 minutes and they were perfect. Great on a warm spring/summer evening for a quick dinner!
Love the addition of the Dano’s what blend did you use?
great chix burger recipe. i didnt have any garlic so used garlic powder and still yummy!
Thank you so much, Diane!
The recipe is great and my kids really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much, Anika!
So easy! I can’t digest beef so easily, so this is a happy alternative. Feels light but has so much flavor. It is my new “go to” burger!
So glad you liked it, Karen! Makes me happy to hear.
Has anyone tried to make this into a meatloaf?
I haven’t made this into meatloaf, but I don’t see why you couldn’t!
Thank you for this recipe. These chicken burgers are delicious!
You’re so welcome!
This recipe is delicious!! So easy too. I didn’t have Italian seasoned bread crumbs so I used Panko bread crumbs and added Italian seasoning to the mix. A new favorite for sure!!
Thank you so much, Tracy!
Did you grind the oats or leave them whole?
Hi Mary, great question! You’ll want to grind the oats if you’re using them as your binder. Enjoy!
Simply delicious, even my 18 month old loved it! Moist, tender and quick to make, which is a must in my book! Thank you for the great recipe! It is officially my go to recipe from now on!
You’re so welcome!! Thank you for testing it out. Happy to hear it’s toddler approved!!
Easy to put together. Flavourful. Oatmeal in it is great. Thank you!
You’re so welcome! Glad you liked them!
That was surprisingly easy to make! Thanks for a great and simple recipe!!
So glad you liked it, Zainab!
I add a couple handfuls of pepper Jack cheese to the mixture!
Ooo, that sounds delicious!
Great recipe, I put in the airfryer to cook!
Husband loved them!
Glad you and your husband enjoyed them!
These were a big hit at my house. Easy to make. Moist and flavorful! Now it’s the go to recipe for chicken burger night.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for trying them out! I am so glad they were a hit!
Simple ✅
Delicious ✅
Everyone’s favourite ✅
Freezer friendly ✅
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe with us ❤️
Thank you, Nibal, for making it! Makes me so happy to see it checked all your boxes!
DELICIOUS!!!!! I didn’t know what to expect, and I just am blown away at how easy and satisfying this is. Baked mine in the oven, and it’s the perfect lazy girl dinner.
Thank you so much! We all deserve lazy and delicious dinners!
What temp and how long did you bake em please and thank you 🙂
Hi Juls! Great question. I recommend placing them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400F for about 20 minutes. You’ll have to come back and let me know how you liked them!
Yum!!! I made these for dinner and they were great!!!! Next time I will double the recipe so we have leftovers! Thanks for the great recipe!
So glad to hear that you liked them! They also make great freezer patties for nights you just want to heat and eat!
Excited to try this! Do you think these can cooked in an air fryer?
I can’t wait for you to give it a go! While I have yet to try that, I definitely think it could work.
I cooked mine in the air fryer at 360 for 9 minutes. Each burger weighed exactly 5oz before cooked. Hope this helps. Burgers were great!
Thanks so much for sharing, Teri!
This is a great recipe. I found that if you wear plastic gloves and add olive oil to them and the plate you use before grilling them, it allows for much easier handling of the ground chicken. Also I mix all the ingredients together and then mix in the mayonaise. It allows for better dispersion.
Thank you so much! That is so helpful – thank you for sharing!
Made these tonight. Very good 👍 followed the recipe exactly but didn’t have fresh parsley so I used dried. Toasted the buns and topped with Swiss cheese and pickles. Nice change from hamburgers
Thank you so much! Sounds like a delicious way to enjoy it. It really is!
Huge hit! Thanks for this simple and delicious recipe!
Thank you so much! Always happy to have shared!
I could not print your Chicken Burgers recipes. I didn’t want any other reciepe and it did ask me to click on Print Recipe and could not print it. Wanted me to get all the recipes. I did not want all the recipes. Thank you anyways. It sounded wonderful and I only wanted that particular one . Sorry. Your recipes are marvelous I am sure. Mrs. Lonstein
If you scroll to the recipe card, there’s a printer icon. When you click on it, I have it formatted in a way to print on 1-2 pages maximum with no images, no large font or anything that takes up too much ink. Can you try that? It should work fine.
Did it twice in 2weeks after discovering this recipe. Thank you
My patty turned out better with the use of flour than the breadcrumbs. Maybe because what I have are Panko type. Anyhow used very little of salt just because I’m cutting out on that.
That is amazing to hear! Good to note!!
Can I use ground turkey instead ???
It should work! You can also try my Grilled Turkey Burgers recipe.
These were great burgers! They stayed juicy and were easy to put together.
Thank you so much! That’s exactly what I was going for!
These were awesome! I used fresh chicken breasts that I ground up in my food processor. Added a touch of goat cheese and carmelized onions on top
Thank you! That sounds like a delicious touch!
I have made this recipe at least 10
times. Each time they are perfect and delicious. This is the only go to recipe for ground chicken burgers.
That is such a compliment! Thank you so much!
These are Whataburger fabulous (my favorite). Though it usually annoys me when people switch up recipe ingredients, here I go. Since I only had regular panko and ranch dressing for mayo on hand, those were my subs. Because I have to watch my cholesterol, these just replaced my craving for Whataburger. As good as and maybe better! Thank you so much!
That is such a compliment! I’m glad you were able to make the necessary changes and enjoyed! Thank you!!
Oh my!!! These was so easy to make and so delicious! I sautéed in some olive oil and just alittle butter. My family loved them! Great recipe.
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed these that much! Yay!! Thank you so much.
Made this as per the recipe, but shaped then like mini koftes for my young kids. Cooked on stove top and turned out delicious! Was a hit with kids and adults. Thank you! Definitely going into rotation.
That’s such a fun idea! Yum!! You’re so welcome!
This use of mayo in the mixture is a great idea! Could this mixture also be for making ground Chicken kebabs or you would use entirely different recipe ??
Thank you! I would follow my Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Kabobs recipe.
Great tips in this recipe! These were delicious! Very easy and tasted great. I cooked on a gas stove and they tasted like BBQ!
Thank you! That’s perfect. Yay!!
I could tell from the ingredients that this recipe was not going to be as flavorful as I wanted but reading all the rave reviews, I decided to try it as-is first. It was okay. Very filling. Chicken doesn’t dry out. I’ll try this again without different seasonings.
Thank you for your feedback! What other seasonings would you have used?
Did some meal prep last week for this week. Made these up as directed with homemade breadcrumbs and put them in freezer. Pulled them out yesterday and cooked on the flat top grill outside with buttered toasted buns for dinner. Leftovers for lunch today. Definitely going in the meal rotation. So good! Everyone enjoyed them.
I’m glad to hear everyone enjoyed! This is definitely a recipe to continue to look forward to.
Man o’ man o’ shevitz these burgers are AMAZING!
I didn’t change a thing. I cooked on my grill pan – 5 minutes each side and I added gruyere/swiss cheese on top with a few slices of avocado and I just about ate my fingers off. Will be making this again, and again, and again. Thank you!!!
Thank you! That is absolutely perfect. I’m so glad to hear it!
I made these with no salt seasoned bread crumbs & reduced the salt to 1/4 tsp.
All I have to say is WOW 🤩. My husband loved these and I will definitely be making at least a double recipe to have on hand. This was the first recipe I have tried from you and I will definitely be trying more. Thank you!
So glad you both enjoyed! Yay!! Can’t wait to hear what you think about the other recipes too.
I wonder if this is all correct for “your 3X” recipe… it is not always the right thing to do, you just tripled the ingredients which anyone can easily do. I will be working this one through to see what the real difference is with the correct revisions of spices. but thank you for the single batch… it
seems to be fairly tasty.
Let me know how it goes!
I had been using ground turkey to make turkey burgers, but they did not have much flavor and my family just tolerated them. I tried your chicken burger recipe and my family and I were surprised to find them sooooo delicious! I substituted Greek yogurt for the mayo, crushed seasoned croutons and Panko crumbs for the breadcrumbs, and 1/4 t garlic powder. I have copied and put this recipe on my fridge so I can make it often. Thank you for sharing!!!
That is amazing! I’m so happy the entire family loved it. Hope you all continue to enjoy!
Honestly, these are so delicious! I always thought of a delicious chicken burger as an enigma because I’ve never enjoyed the chicken breast burgers, finding them dry. This recipe is so easy to make, you’d have most things in the pantry besides the ground chicken and they are delicious! We made two for dinner tonight and froze two for a lazy midweek meal 🙂
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed this recipe!!
Glad I doubled this recipe, my 2 and 3 y/o gobbled them. So good! Served them with roasted potatoes + corn.
That’s amazing! Sounds perfect.
These burgers were phenomenal! I had to pan sear them as I don’t have a grill… But even on a cast iron skillet they were incredible! To pan sear I cooked them on a Med-high heat, 5 minutes per side. Cooked perfectly! Will make again!
Yay! Glad to hear it worked out that way too. Hope you continue to enjoy this!
I followed the recipe exactly as is! I used curly parsley and Panko breadcrumbs. These were incredible! My husband was raving about these. I made an extra batch to freeze for a busy week night meal and can’t wait to have again. Thank you!!!
That’s perfect! So happy to hear you both enjoyed the recipe!
Hello,
Can I substitute the Italian breadcrumbs for the Crispy Italian Shake n’ Bake ?
Thank you, kindly.
I have yet to try that, but I think it could work!
Does this also. Work with pre made chicken burger if I just add in the stuff not already in it wanting to try?
It should!
I just made these ground chicken burgers today and won’t need to look further for another recipe, they are delicious! Followed the recipe as is and the flavor and texture were perfect. Thank-you for sharing!
That’s perfect! Glad they turned out well and that you enjoyed.
Absolutely Delicious!
Thank you so much!
I never- literally NEVER- leave comments, even on my favourite recipea. But these chicken burgers are worth ALL the comments. They are absolutely unreal. Both my husband and I think they’re one of the most delicious things we’ve ever eaten. I’ve never made anything with ground chicken before, and now I don’t want to make anything else! I also never desire to eat burgers without the bun, but I prefer to eat this burger without it- and completely plain- so that nothing else takes away from how incredible it is. Thank you for discovering such an amazing recipe!!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I appreciate you for leaving a comment. Glad you are enjoying this recipe so much!!
Made these Chicken Burgers tonight Turned them into Chicken Parm Burgers. Delicious! Will definitely make again and share with family.
Thank you.
That sounds delicious! Hope they enjoy it too!
How much protein in burger
There are 22g of protein.
So good!!
So glad to hear it!
This is amazing! Made it multiple times recently. Great flavor, healthy just by itself!!
Thank you! That’s amazing!
Can’t wait to try this! What do you think about using ground turkey in place of chicken? TYIA!!
It should work!
Made these delicious burgers a couple days ago, we loved them so much just made them again! Already sharing this super yummy recipe with family and friends. Can’t wait to explore more of your recipes!
That makes me so happy to hear! I love that!
Excellent,used an egg and panko !
Thank you!!
How much almond flour do you think instead of bread crumbs?
I would use a 1:1 substitution ratio.
Made this for myself and my four year old. She absolutely loved it. The burgers were tasty and easy to make.
That’s amazing! I love that!
Who ever thought chicken burgers would taste this good! I will make them again; fussy husband loved them. Thanks
So glad you both enjoyed these burgers and found it easy to make! You’re so welcome!
I made these last night for dinner and they were SO good! They were flavorful and juicy. Thanks so much for the delicious recipe- this one is going in our meal rotation.
That makes me so happy to hear! You’re so welcome!
Thanks for all ur efforts to make full proof recipes for us. Made ur moist chicken burger 2 days ago! It was amazing!!!! Soooo goood!!! 💕💕💕🌷🌷🌷
You’re so welcome! That makes me so happy to hear!
Hello!
Do you know if I could bake these in the oven instead? If so, could you share the temperature and cooking time?
Thank you!
Yes, you can bake them in the oven too. Place them on a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven at 400F for about 20 minutes.
This recipe is DELICIOUS!!! I ate them like meatloaf with no bread, the flavors blend so wonderfully. Thank you for a GREAT new addition to my recipes!!
Thank you! I love that!!
Excellent recipe, I tried it today. It is not time consuming and result is awesome.
Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that!
This recipe was so easy and delicious! The kids just gobbled it up! These burgers are going to go into the monthly dinner routine.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! That’s amazing!!
These are the best chicken burgers! We have them several times a month as part of our dinner rotation.
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you!
Ooooops! In my previous comment I failed to rate. So, here I am with my 5 star rating. Thanks again. Now I am going to peruse your recipes!
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy the other recipes too!
These are delicious! I have made them several times just as written. I have grilled them and I have baked them. Both work great. Today I subbed the mayo for an egg and the burgers were equally wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
Thank you! That’s great to hear. You’re so welcome!
I have never rated a recipe before, but this one deserves my time and effort. Wow! I followed the recipe, but substituted breadcrumbs with almond flour (1:1), and parsley with sage (but any mild fresh herb will work). Wow! I still cannot get over just how good the chicken patty tastes. I ate it over a bed of lettuce, drizzled lightly with lemon vinaigrette.
I doubled the batch, and now have delicious and nutritious lunch all week (+more). So happy!
Thank you so much for leaving a rating! I’m so glad you really enjoyed it. Yay!!
These were soooo good! I’ve made chicken and turkey burgers several times before and although they were good, these were amazing! I will definitely be making these again. I didn’t have ground chicken so pulsed chicken breasts in the food processor to desired consistency, made for a nice lean burger but very moist.
Thank you so much! That’s incredible!! Yay!
What can you substitute the bread crumbs with. My husband is a newly diagnosed diabetic and cant have carbs. So i was wondering what else i could use. And do you have to put all that stuff in it to make the ground chicken form a patty.
You could use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs.
I have to say..these were truly amazing!!
Thank you so much!
Made these multiple times. Rough grind the chicken. They are awesome.
Thank you!
Excellent!
Thank you!
Amazing! I made sliders from this recipe with a teeny bit of cayenne. Everything else followed the recipe. Sandwiches were with brioche (small slider size) lettuce, red onion, tomato, and cheddar. EVERYONE freaked out and begged me for more. All 20 sliders are gone way too fast
, and I have to make more for tomorrow.
Best recipe for chicken patties I have ever seen. thanks!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much!!!
For most recipes, we’ve swapped out bread crumbs for hemp hearts. Lower carb and higher protein. Works like a charm.
I love that idea!
Really good! This was my first time using ground chicken and it is so much better than ground turkey. Thanks for a great recipe.
I’m glad you were able to try something new and enjoy it! You’re welcome!!
Just made your ground chicken burgers for dinner. Family doubted me 💯 but they were pleasantly surprised. Delicious 😋🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m glad they gave it a try and enjoyed it! Yay!!
Just made these and they were beyond my expectations! We did go a little heavy on the garlic and added a bit more Mayo to compensate for accidentally adding too much bread crumb. They had a delicious crispy top and bottom and were SO moist inside. Def making again!
Thank you for sharing your recipe!
That’s amazing! Never too much garlic! You’re so welcome!
WOW, full of flavor and easy to make! First time making chicken burgers and this will be my go to recipe :).
I was worried they were not cooked through so I cut them in half to check. Investing in a thermometer for the next time.
I’m so glad to hear it! A thermometer is a great tool to have on hand in the kitchen; this one is my favorite: https://amzn.to/31Z1PFc
These came out fantastic!
I made some minor adjustments that worked in a pinch! I didnt use parsley. Instead of minced garlic I used garlic powder. Instead of minced onions I used a packet of onion soup mix. I had plain breadcrumbs so added Italian seasoning to them.
They were delicious! My husband says we have to add this to our meal rotation now!!!
I have leftovers to reheat. At what temp and how long would you reheat in the oven?
Thank you so much! I’m glad it worked with those modifications too! To re-heat, you can thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stovetop or in the oven. I would reheat at 400F for roughly 5 minutes, flipping halfway.
Best recipe . Just grilled some and everybody loved it
These came out amazing! They will definitely replace my usual egg recipe. I grilled them on a sheet of tinfoil sprayed with olive oil spray and they didn’t stick at all.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it that much!
Best chicken burgers ever. Very moist
Wow, thank you so much!
These are amazing! It was my first time making chicken burgers and these were fantastic. Tender and tasty!
Thank you so much! That’s so great to hear!!
I made them in the oven and they turned out great! Very tasty and juicy. Thank you for giving me meal inspirations every week!
That’s great! You’re so welcome!!
Hi , What can be used as a substitute instead of bread crumbs ?
Instead of breadcrumbs, you can use all-purpose flour.
Tried the burgers today … turned out so juicy and amazing flavours !!!
Could you use ground beef in this recipe?
It should work, but I haven’t tried it in this recipe. I recommend making my Beef Burgers instead: https://feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/homemade-hamburgers/
It was superb.. I don’t think I will be ordering from outside anymore
Love it when food from home tastes as good as something you’d get at a restaurant!
With this recipe, i’ll be purchasing more ground chicken. It was yummy, thank you.
You’re so welcome!
I’ve made this recipe several times and it is always a crowd pleaser. We are enjoying ground chicken so much, I wish I would have made it sooner. Excellent recipe, very flavorful and my family loves flavor!
That’s amazing! Glad you got around to trying it!!
These chicken burgers were delicious!! I cooked them in a sauté pan with some butter. So good. Will make these again soon!!
Thank you so much! I love that!!
Easy to make and loaded with flavor.
Everybody in my family enjoyed it. Thanks .
We made these for dinner and they were so delicious! This is definitely going to be in our monthly dinner rotation and might be a grill staple!!
That’s perfect! I love that!!
used ground turkey and baked in the oven as per your instructions. They were delicious!
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you!!
These were soooo juicy and delicious! I’ve made chicken burgers before but they always came out a little dry, this is the first time it wasn’t dry and it was perfect in every bite!
That’s perfect! I’m glad to hear it!
I tried these and my family loved it. They were ( so good) your style😍
Yay!! I love that!
These were a surprise to my weeknight menu! Tasty, flavorful, and juicy! I will definitely make these again!
That makes me so happy to hear! Yay!!
I made these burgers from my family. They were delicious and bursting with lots of great flavor. Thank you!
That makes me so happy to hear! You’re so welcome!
Delicious burgers and very easy to prepare. We do not eat red meat and I was looking for a traditional burger alternative. Followed recipe as is except for onion. Added a dash of Old Bay Seasoning. Also a hit with my 10 year old!
Thank you so much! I’m glad this hit the spot!
These burgers were super simple to put together and boy were they good!! The only real change I made was using whole wheat bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Would definitely make these again!
Thank you! You could definitely do that to fit your preferences!!
I don’t know what I could say about these burgers other than they are amazing! I am such a picky person when it comes to using somebody else’s recipe but I have been wanting to have chicken burgers for a while and I said what the heck. Well, these will always be my go to!! Thank you for sharing!
I’m so glad you gave this a try and that it hit the spot! Yay!! You’re so welcome!
I made these tonight and they were fantastic! I had them put together and ready to go within 10 minutes. I ended up baking the patties and they turned out perfect. I will be making these again!
Really delicious chicken patties! Wow, easy recipe and yummy. Made in under 20 minutes. Will definitely make again. Already bookmarked this recipe!
That is perfect! I’m so happy to hear that!
These chicken burgers are our favorite thing to make!! They are so good! My family used to hate chicken burgers and then we tried this recipe and now they ask for them every day! 10/10 recommended !
Aww, yay! I’m so happy to hear that!
I made the chicken burger and it was delicious 😋 very easy recipe and my family loved it!! Thank you so much 🙏🏼🤩
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you!!
These burgers have amazing flavour and are incredibly juicy. So simple to make and freeze for quick meals. Yum!
I’m so happy to hear it! Thank you so much!
Loved the recipe, so juicy and easy to make. Just delicious!
Thank you so much!
I do this Burger all the time now. !!!! I put tzatziki as a condiment in it. Soooo goood ❤ I enjoy this recipe a lot. Thank you
Thank you so much! Tzatziki sounds delicious in this.
everyone complains about bland ground chicken……………….NOT HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we used Miracle whip instead of mayo. If the flavour is too intense you could use 1/2 Italian and 1/2 plain breadcrumbs.
Thanks for a great tasting recipe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay, so glad to hear it!! Thank you for all the explanation marks!!! Made my day!
I found you via google! Made these delicious burgers last night! I’ll share a picture via Instagram later and copy you! Loved the addition of mayo! Made them so moist! Must repeat! Thank you so much for sharing!
Yay, so glad to hear it! Thank you!
WOW, these chicken burgers were incredible!!! Topped them with sliced avocado, and served with your healthy coleslaw, what a delicious meal!
What an amazing combination!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi! Do you think this recipe will also work with ground turkey instead of chicken?
Yup! I think that would work just great
I tried this one and many other recipes in here, never a fail, I really liked them, all turned out great 🙌
So glad to hear it Mariam! Thank you!
These turned out amazing and juicy! Kids loves them too! Super easy dinner.
So glad to hear it. Thank you!!
