👩🍳 Instructions
🔹 1. Prepare Broccoli:
Steam broccoli florets until just tender. Chop finely and allow to cool — no excess moisture!
🔹 2. Mix Patties:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped broccoli, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, and seasonings. Mix until well combined but not overworked.
🔹 3. Form & Chill Patties:
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm them up.
🔹 4. Cook Patties:
Heat a lightly oiled skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F / 74°C). Add cheese slices during the last minute to melt.
🔹 5. Toast Buns:
Lightly toast your burger buns on the pan or grill until golden.
🔹 6. Assemble Burgers:
Spread your favorite sauce on the bun base, layer lettuce, the broccoli chicken patty, tomato, onion rings, and top bun. Press gently and serve warm.
