No bun chicken burger with oats, veggies and spices

If you're looking for a healthier, no-bun alternative to a classic burger, this no bun chicken burger with oats, veggies, and spices is a delicious option. By incorporating wholesome ingredients like oats, fresh vegetables, and lean chicken thighs, this recipe provides a nutritious and flavorful meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

6 oz chicken thighs
170g
1 egg
50g
1/4 cup oats
40g
1 stalk onion
12g
2 tbsp red pepper
18g
1/4 zucchini
50g
1 tbsp canned tomato paste
16g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 garlic clove
3g
2 dash black pepper
0.20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- If your chicken thighs aren’t already minced, finely chop or grind them.
- Finely chop the onion and red pepper.
- Grate the zucchini.
- Mince the garlic clove.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix the minced chicken thighs with the egg.
- Stir in the oats, chopped onion, red pepper, grated zucchini, and minced garlic.
- Add the tomato paste and mix until well combined.
- Season with black pepper.
3. Form the Patties:
- Using your hands, divide the mixture into patties of equal size; you should be able to make 4-6 patties depending on your preferred size.
4. Cook the Patties:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Place the patties into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Serve:
- Serve the chicken patties hot as a no-bun burger. Optional: You can complement with a side salad, some roasted vegetables, or a dipping sauce of your choice.

Tips:

- For easier mixing, finely chop the veggies before combining them with the chicken and other ingredients.

- If the mixture feels too wet to form into patties, you can add a little more oats to help bind it together.

- Preheat your skillet or grill before placing the patties to ensure a nice sear and to help them cook evenly.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

- Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices and enhance the flavor.

This no bun chicken burger with oats, veggies, and spices is a healthy and tasty alternative to traditional burgers. With the added nutritional benefits from the oats and vegetables, it’s a great way to enjoy a satisfying meal while keeping it balanced and wholesome. Give it a try and enjoy a delicious dish that’s sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection.
