Fresh Chicken Burgers

2 lbs boneless and skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup onions, diced

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons bread crumbs.

Cooking spray

Step 1:

 Cut the chicken into 2-inch chunks. Following you grinder’s directions, grind the chicken coarsely into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2:

Mix the remaining ingredients into the ground chicken, save for the cooking spray.  Form 4 equal sized patties for ½ pound burgers, 8 equal sized patties for ¼ pound burgers. It isn’t suggested to go below ¼ pounds.

Step 3: 

Spray the skillet with the cooking spray, and heat to medium high heat. Cook the burgers until their internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F, turning them over once halfway through.  The onions will help the burgers to remain moist.  As an alternative after cooking the burgers for 5-10 minutes per side lower the temperature and lid the burgers. This will allow them to cook slower and more evenly reach 180 degrees F.   Remove the burgers and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
