Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound pasture-raised, skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into large chunks (or you can use ground pasture-raised chicken or turkey)
1 medium onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons coconut oil
4 gluten-free buns, such as Sami's Bakery buns
1 handful mâche lettuce, baby spinach, or arugula
For the Thousand Island Dressing:
1 1/2 cups (about 4) quartered plum tomatoes
1/2 cup raw macadamia nuts or cashews
2 garlic cloves
1/8 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 dill pickles, minced
For the Garnish:
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 large red onion, sliced into thin rounds

Steps:

  • First, make the dressing. In a blender, purée the tomatoes, nuts, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt for 45 seconds, until the mixture is thick and creamy. Transfer the contents to a small bowl and stir in the minced pickles. Set it aside. (Any extra dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.)
  • To prepare to garnish, heat the coconut oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions until they are slightly caramelized, then set them aside.
  • For the burgers, in a food processor purée the chicken, onion, and garlic until everything is well combined. Transfer it to a large bowl and add the parsley, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Blend the mixture well with your hands, then form it into four equal-size burgers.
  • In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil, then add the burgers. Allow them to brown on one side for several minutes before flipping them and browning the other side. If you are not serving these right away, you can transfer them to a heated oven at this point to keep them warm.
  • When the burgers are ready, serve them on buns topped with the fresh greens and sautéed red onion, and with a side of Thousand Island Dressing.

LEMON BUTTER CHICKEN



Lemon Butter Chicken image

I love lemons on everything and created this quick and easy recipe one night. You can reduce the lemon juice for a less lemony taste. I use tenderloins for a shorter cooking time. It is even better if you have the time to marinate. The leftover juice is great served with rice or to dip with Texas Toast or rolls.

LEMON & HERB CHICKEN CLUB BURGER



Lemon & herb chicken club burger image

Create a winning combination with smoky barbecued chicken breasts stacked in a burger with bacon, lettuce, avocados and a moreish lemony burger sauce

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
8 rashers smoked bacon
4 burger buns, split
4 slices of your favourite cheese (optional)
2 avocados, halved, stoned, peeled and sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
4 handfuls of lettuce leaves
1 garlic clove
2 tsp chopped thyme leaves, or 1 tsp dried thyme
½ lemon, juiced
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp mustard
small splash of chilli sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • First, make the marinade. Crush the garlic with the thyme and a pinch of salt using a pestle and mortar. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and plenty of cracked black pepper and mash together to combine. Lay the chicken breasts out on a board and flatten slightly using a rolling pin until they are an even thickness. Transfer to a container with the marinade, then seal, shake and chill until needed, or for up to 1 hr. Light the barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen, or heat a gas barbecue to medium. Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and keep chilled.
  • Cook the bacon on the barbecue for 3-4 min until crisp. Remove to a plate and set aside. Toast the cut side of the buns where you grilled the bacon to soak up the fat, then remove and set aside. Barbecue the marinated chicken breasts for 4-5 mins on each side until lightly charred. Top each with a slice of cheese, if using, and cook for a few minutes more until the cheese has melted and the chicken is cooked through (a probe thermometer should read at least 65C).
  • Spread the base of each bun with the sauce, then top with the avocado slices, tomatoes, chicken, bacon and lettuce. Sandwich with the bun tops, press down lightly and serve.

Provided by DCKatie

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Greek

Time 25m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ground chicken
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
3 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
salt and pepper to taste
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix the chicken, bread crumbs, egg, lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; form the mixture into 5 patties. Divide the feta cheese between the 5 patties; place a portion of the feta cheese atop each patty and fold the chicken mixture around the cheese so that the cheese is in the center.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink on the inside and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using breasts, you may need to pound them to an even thickness.
  • Use fresh lemon. The zest and juice of fresh lemon add a bright, citrusy flavor to the burgers.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Cook the burgers over medium heat until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking will make the burgers dry and tough.
  • Serve the burgers immediately. Chicken burgers are best enjoyed hot off the grill. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Chicken burgers with lemon are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. They're packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. Whether you're grilling them in the summer or cooking them in a skillet on the stovetop, these burgers are sure to be a hit.
