Chicken Burgers

The burger recipe below is different from previous recipes as it contains shredded chicken instead of red meat, beans or oats. It still has vegetables mixed into each patty. It also has a tasty strawberry jam sauce which makes a nice alternative to traditional ketchup or tomato paste.

Obviously, any of my home-made burgers aren't going to be as conventional (or perhaps as tasty!) as juicy beef burgers eaten in restaurants - as pictured below.

Nevertheless, the burgers on my blog provide variety:

Ingredients:
For the sauce
- 56g / 2oz onion, chopped
- 34g / 2tbsp strawberry jam (I use sugar free)
- 7ml / 1/2tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ground black pepper

For the burgers
- 56g / 2oz onion, chopped
- 85g / 3oz carrot, grated
- 150g / 5.5oz courgette, grated
- 225g / 8oz chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 40g / 1.5oz bread crumbs
- 10ml / 2tsp soy sauce, light
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1tbsp parsley, dried

Method:
Using a food processor, chop the onion and then half into two.

For the sauce, in a pan sprayed with cooking spray, cook the onion until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the jam, vinegar and black pepper and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.

For the burgers, in a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together.

Squeeze any excess liquid from the mixture and form into 4 patties.

Place on a baking tray and cook in the oven at 175C / 350F for 15 minutes, then flipping and cooking for another 10 minutes. Top burgers with strawberry sauce. ENJOY!
