Burgers di Pollo al Limone

Burgers di Pollo al Limone are a refreshing take on traditional burgers, combining succulent chicken with zesty lemon flavors and Italian herbs. Perfectly grilled and served with a light garnish, these burgers are both satisfying and unique.

Ingredients

• Ground chicken - 400 grams
• Lemon zest - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon, dried
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Burger buns - 2 pieces
• Lettuce leaves - 2 pieces
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2 small, thinly sliced
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the patties on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked chicken patty, a slice of tomato, a few slices of red onion, and a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
