Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head broccoli
1.5 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs OR 1.5 lbs pre ground chicken
3/4 cup cheddar cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Oil for cooking

Steps:

  • Steam broccoli until tender and then roughly chop into small pieces. Add the broccoli to a large mixing bowl. Let sit until cool enough to handle comfortably.
  • Cut the chicken thighs up in large chunks and add to a food processor. Make sure to only fill the food processor up about 1/3 of the way full so work in batches if needed. Pulse the chicken into a ground meat mixture then transfer to a large bowl. Or - just use pre ground chicken.
  • Add the chopped broccoli, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder (if using) to the bowl and mix everything together with your hands until well combined.
  • Divide the chicken mixture into 5 pieces (about 6 oz each) then shape each section into a burger patty. Season each side with pepper.
  • Warm the oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot add the patties to the pan and fry on each side, about 7-10 minutes each until cooked through. Internal temp should be 165°F/74°C.
  • Serve in lettuce wraps or on gluten free buns with your favourite burger add-ons.
