Chicken Burgers with Caramelized Apples and Onions
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Onions, Sliced
- 2 Apples, Peeled, Cored And Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 pound Ground Chicken
- 3/4 cups Cheddar Cheese, Grated
- 2 Tablespoons Green Onions, Chopped
- 1/2 cups Cooked Brown Rice, Or Bread Crumbs
- 1 Egg, Beaten
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cups Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 4 Hamburger Buns, Split
- Blue Cheese, Crumbled
- In a saute pan, add oil and butter, and heat on medium-low heat until butter melts.
- Add onions and apples.
- Cook covered for 10 minutes (medium low heat).
- Remove lid, and cook uncovered for 25 minutes or until onions are caramelized and golden brown.
- Add the vinegar and a dash of salt and pepper, and bring to a boil, until vinegar almost disappears, about 2 minutes.
- Then remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, add chicken, cheddar cheese, green onions, brown rice, egg, 2 Tablespoons of maple syrup, salt and pepper.
- Mix until well blended.
- Shape into 4-6 patties.
- You can cook these in two ways: 1.)
- On the grill over medium heat.
- This is the healthier option, but the chicken will slightly dry out.
- 2) Add vegetable oil to a saute pan, and heat over medium heat.
- Either way, cook patties until slightly browned on both sides (about 5 minutes per side).
- The stovetop method will result in a juicier burger, since much of the fat is trapped in the burger.
- Id suggest this way, if you have a meatosaurus at home.
- They might not even be able to tell the difference between chicken and beef!
- In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, and dijon mustard.
- To assemble, spread the yogurt mix on one half of the bun.
- Top with burger, then add blue cheese to taste, followed by the onions.
- It would truly be heavenly with bacon.
- Im just saying.
