Natashas Chicken Burgers

A chicken burger the whole family enjoys! Natasha is my eldest daughter, and her eyes light up when I announce we're having these for dinner. The onion can be finely chopped, but with three kids, we prefer grating it so as to hide it. I usually serve these with mashed potatoes and Caesar salad for a very comforting meal!

Ingredients

1 pound extra-lean ground chicken
½ cup italian-seasoned bread crumbs, divided
½ small onion, finely grated
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Mix ground chicken, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, onion, egg, and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Moisten hands and shape chicken mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, into flat, oval-shaped patties.
Spread remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish; dip patties in bread crumbs to coat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook patties in hot oil until golden and well browned on the bottoms, 5 to 6 minutes.
Turn patties and cook until other sides are browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve and enjoy!
