Take a break from the typical beef patty and enjoy a juicy and flavorful Chicken Burger seasoned with smoky paprika, onions, and dried herbs, then topped with classic mayo, tomato slices, and tangy red onions.
Combine all the ingredients for the chicken patties leaving out the oil, in a large bowl. Set that aside to rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the chicken mixture into four large parts, then shape them into patties. Or make six slightly smaller (medium-sized) patties.
Heat the cast iron skillet or grill to medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Then, place the chicken patties in the pan and cook on both sides until the patties are thoroughly cooked, around 8-10 minutes. If you’re using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 170℉.
Assemble the chicken burgers with your favorite burger rolls and plenty of toppings and enjoy!

Notes
Cook the Onions-Don’t forget to chop the onion into thick slices and cook it in the skillet before. The result will be a soft and brownish onion to add to your burger.
Delicious Toppings- Make this chicken burger your own! Try adding creamy homemade or store-bought coleslaw, a crispy fried onion ring, sliced avocado, tangy Dijon mustard, a slice of provolone or cheddar cheese, sweet pickles, blue cheese crumbles, or feta cheese— YUM!
Even Cooking- To avoid shrinking and uneven cooking with the patties, it helps to press the center of the burger before grilling or frying.
Mixing the Chicken Patties– Even if it’s messy, it’s best to mix and form the patties with your hands, applying light pressure. Wear gloves if preferred.
Avoid Overmixing– Combine the chicken patty ingredients until they are evenly incorporated. Overmixing the patty ingredients will result in dense and chewy parties.
