Chicken Chili Burgers image

This is a recipe I got from Ladies Home Journal. The original recipe calls for chicken cutlets, but I used ground chicken to make it easier. If using ground chicken, just omit the first two steps in the directions.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 lbs chicken cutlets or 1 3/4-2 lbs ground chicken
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
3/4 cup prepared chili sauce
oil, for grill rack
8 slices part-skim sharp cheddar cheese
8 hamburger buns
1 large red onion, sliced
8 lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • If using chicken cutlets, rinse chicken and pat dry.
  • Cut into 2-inch pieces and pulse in a food processor until coarsely ground; transfer to a bowl.
  • If using ground chicken, break apart into bowl.
  • Now the recipe is the same for both the chicken cutlets and ground chicken.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • With hands, mix in bell pepper, cilantro and chili sauce until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Form into 8 one-half inch thick patties.
  • Preheat grill.
  • Lightly oil rack.
  • Grill burgers on rack over moderate heat 5 minutes.
  • Flip burgers and top each with 1 slice cheese; continue to grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, grill buns, cut sides down, until golden brown, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange burgers in buns with onion and lettuce.
