Chicken Burgers

Chicken Burgers

Cookbook author Leah Koenig's secret for the juiciest chicken burgers is grinding chicken breasts in the food processor, which guarantees the freshest blend and the best texture for these moist, tender burgers. Cutting whole chicken breasts into chunks and pulsing them in the food processor yields the smooth consistency needed for the burgers to hold together, and stirring a bit of mayonnaise into the mixture yields burgers that are juicy, tender, and light. Flavored with scallions, parsley, basil, and lemon zest, these chicken burgers are delicious enough to stand alone, but for a fuller meal, serve them with coconut rice and a green salad, or on brioche with harissa-honey mayo.
