🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken Patties:

  • Nonstick cooking spray 🥄

  • 1 lb ground chicken 🍗

  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs 🍞

  • 1 tbsp crushed coriander seeds 🌿

  • 1 tsp red chili powder 🌶️

  • ¼ tsp salt 🧂

  • 4 burger buns 🍔

For the Tamarind Chutney:

Toppings:

  • ½ cup sliced tomatoes 🍅

  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion 🧅

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

  2. Make the patties: In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, crushed coriander seeds, chili powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly, then shape into 4 equal patties.

  3. Bake the patties on the prepared sheet for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and they're golden brown on the outside.

  4. Prepare the chutney: In a small bowl, whisk together the tamarind paste, sugar, and water until smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste.

  5. Toast the buns in the oven for the last 2–3 minutes of baking time.

  6. Assemble the burgers: Spread tamarind chutney on the bottom bun, place a spiced chicken patty on top, then layer with tomato slices, red onion, and lettuce. Cap with the top bun and serve warm!

💡 Tips & Ideas

  • ✨ For an added layer of tang, sprinkle crushed anardana (dried pomegranate seeds) into the patty mix or on top.

  • 🥗 These burgers are perfect with a refreshing side of kachumber salad — a chopped mix of cucumber, tomato, and onion tossed with lemon juice and herbs.
