Chicken Pine Nut Mini Burgers Recipes

CHICKEN & PINE NUT MINI BURGERS

Steps:

• Place all of the above ingredients in a bowl and mix together very well. When I make these, I add 1-2 tablespoons of a vinaigrette style salad dressing to give it a little extra flavor. This is completely optional.
• In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. Once the olive oil begins to shimmer, it is time to cook the chicken patties.
• Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop (approx. 1 tbl in size), scoop rounds of the meat mixture into the skillet. Use a fork to slightly press them flat.
• Cook the patties until well browned on one side and cooked about half way through.
• Flip to the other side and repeat the previous step. Once the second side is browned and the patties are cooked completely through, patties are done.
• Remove the patties to a paper-towel lined plate to drain, if necessary.
• Eat and enjoy!
