I have always loved chicken burgers. But when you buy them at the store or eat them from a fast food resteraunt, you never know how much is actually chicken in there. So since I have been experimenting with chicken lately, these burgers came to be and we love them!!! Even having them for leftovers the next day they still taste amazing!

You can also pan fry these burgers in a generous about of olive oil. I cook them for about 5 minutes per side until cooked all the way through. Or add them to the BBQ grill!!

Double the recipe! These burgers are also fantastic the next day. Simply preheat them in the oven for 10 minutes until warm throughout.
Panfrying your burgers will speed up the process of making these beautiful burgers.
