2 Points Plus Chicken Burgers Recipes

DOUBLE-STACK MUSHROOM AND CHICKEN CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Pulse mushrooms with ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a food processor until very finely chopped. (Alternatively, finely chop mushrooms by hand, then toss with salt in a medium bowl and let sit 2 minutes.) Transfer mushrooms to a clean kitchen towel, gather ends together, and wring over bowl to remove as much moisture as possible. Reserve liquid for another use.
• Mix mushrooms and chicken in a large bowl with your hands until well combined. Divide mixture into 8 balls and gently form into patties about ¼" thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Prepare a grill for high heat; lightly oil grate. Drizzle onion with oil and season with salt. Grill on cooler edges of grill, turning occasionally, until slightly softened and charred, about 8 minutes. Transfer onion to a platter.
• Season tops of patties with salt and pepper. Place, seasoned side down, on grate and season second side with salt and pepper. Grill until edges are browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and top with cheese. Grill until patties are cooked through and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Transfer patties to platter with onion.
• Grill buns, cut side down, until lightly charred, about 30 seconds. Spread cut sides of bottom buns with mayonnaise and top buns with mustard. Layer pickles, grilled onion, 2 patties, and lettuce on bottom buns, then close up burgers.

CHICKEN PARM BURGER

Steps:

• Lightly grease a large plate with oil and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken with 1/2 cup Parmesan, the basil, tomato paste, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Working the meat as little as possible, form 4 patties that are each about 4 1/2 inches wide and about 1/2 cup or 135 grams. Transfer to the greased plate and refrigerate until Step 3. (This helps prevent the juices and fat from leaking.)
• On a rimmed plate, sprinkle the tomato slices with salt. In a bowl, stir together the mozzarella and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
• Heat 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the buns, cut sides down, and toast until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to serving plates.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium. Working in batches if necessary, add the patties and cook until browned underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. (Reduce heat if the patties are burning.) Flip the patties, top with the cheese mixture, cover the skillet with a lid or baking sheet, and cook until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Pat the tomatoes dry. To each bottom bun, add a handful of arugula, followed by a slice of tomato, a chicken patty and its top bun. Serve hot.

FANTASTIC CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• In a bowl, mix together the ground chicken, guacamole seasoning, half the cilantro, lime juice, and minced onion until thoroughly combined. Form the chicken mixture into 4 patties. Reserve the other half of the cilantro for garnish.
• Grill the chicken burgers on the preheated grill until the meat is no longer pink inside, the juices run clear, and the burgers show browned grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• About 2 minutes before burgers are done, place slices of ciabatta bread onto the grill to toast, about 1 minute per side. About 1 minute before the burgers are done, top each burger with a slice of Cheddar cheese, and let melt.
• Serve chicken burgers on the toasted ciabatta bread, topped with about 1 tablespoon of salsa and about 1 tablespoon of the reserved chopped cilantro.
