Homemade Ground Chicken-Chickpea Burgers image

This burger lends itself to lots of options and variety, all of which are delicious! Even my beef-loving husband loved it and ate every last bite. The best part is the complex texture, moistness, and unique (though not weird...) taste. We enjoyed them with some zucchini fries (fresh from our new backyard veggie garden). Optional: toast buns with a slice of your preferred cheese. Feel free to dress your burger to your liking; I chose Swiss cheese, ketchup, tomatoes, and spinach (my husband opted for American cheese, ketchup, and mustard). Make sure to test patties for doneness prior to consuming!

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups water
½ cup dry quinoa
1 (15.5 ounce) can chickpeas
8 ounces ground chicken
½ cup egg whites
½ cup minced beets
½ cup oat bran
¼ cup minced onion
3 prunes, minced
1 tablespoon minced poblano pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground chile pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mash chickpeas roughly in a bowl. Add cooked quinoa, chicken, egg whites, beets, oat bran, onion, prunes, poblano pepper, salt, chile powder, cumin, and black pepper. Mix well. Form into 6 equal-size patties. Wrap in aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and any juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

These burgers are a great way to get your kids to eat more vegetables. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional beef burgers.

These burgers were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe with some grated zucchini or carrots.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers fell apart when I tried to flip them. Maybe I didn't mix the ingredients together well enough?

These burgers were great! The combination of ground chicken and chickpeas was really flavorful, and the spices added just the right amount of heat. I served them with tzatziki sauce and pita bread, and they were a hit with my family.
