Aug 24, 2015

A healthier, low-fat burger loaded with such delicious spicy flavour you’ll want to make them over and over. Grill on the barbecue or pan fry. Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 Tablespoon green onion, minced
• 1 Tablespoon Thai red curry paste
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
• 1/4 cup peanut sauce
• 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1-2 tablespoons oil, for grilling
• 4 hamburger rolls

Directions
Mix the chicken, garlic, cilantro, green onion, red curry paste, fish sauce, jalapeño pepper, peanut sauce, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper together very well.  Form the mixture into 4 burgers.

Pre-heat a grill (or skillet) over medium heat. Lightly oil grill or skillet, and cook burgers until they are firm to the touch and cooked through; about 6-8 minutes per side.

Serve on toasted hamburger rolls and top with sweet chili sauce, guacamole, sliced red onion and cheese, if desired.
