Chicken, Zucchini, and Fresh Corn Burgers are a delicious and wholesome twist on traditional burgers. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup grated zucchini, excess moisture squeezed out
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking
- Burger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, avocado slices, mayonnaise, mustard, etc.
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients: Grate the zucchini and squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the cob. Mince the garlic cloves.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated zucchini, fresh corn kernels, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make sure the patties are not too thick to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Patties: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil. Cook the burger patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Assemble Burgers: Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a cooked chicken, zucchini, and corn patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado slices, mayonnaise, mustard, etc. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve: Serve the chicken, zucchini, and fresh corn burgers immediately while they’re still warm.
