Ingredients
Chicken Burgers
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 envelope of Lipton's Onion soup mix
1/4 c Panko crumbs
1 1/2 T Worcestershire Sauce
1 egg
Several grinds of fresh black pepper
Cream Cheese Topping
4 oz softened cream cheese
1 T mayonnaise
1/2 envelope Lipton Onion Soup mix
2 minced scallions
Onion Topping
1/2 of Bermuda onion, sliced thin
1/2 of large sweet onion, sliced thin
1 T olive oil
Salt and Pepper
4 buns for serving
Instructions
To make chicken burger combine all burger ingredients and shape into 4 patties. Place on a plate and chill for about 24 hours. (Chilling helps the burger keeps its shape and lets the flavors in the burger become more concentrated.)
To make cream cheese topping combine all softened ingredients and chill. When ready to place on burgers this will soften and melt on top. However if you choose to make this the day of, keep this at room temperature and just dollop on the burgers before serving.
For onion topping, mix onions, oil, salt and pepper in a zip lock bag.
Preheat grill to medium high. Cook burger on a well oiled grill. I always spray my burgers on both sides with cooking spray so they don't stick. Cook about 3-4 minutes per side but check for doneness. Chicken should NOT be pink inside.
While cooking burgers, dump onion mixture on a grill tray. While you are attending to the burgers, give them a stir now and then so they don't burn. I however, like them more on the crispy side.
Before burgers are all the way done, warm your buns on the grill. I would spray them also with a little cooking spray. When burgers are cooked, place one on the bottom half of each bun and top with 1 T of cream cheese topping. Add a spoonful of onions and place the top half on the bun on the burger. Close the grill lid for a moment to let the topping warm up a bit. Enjoy!
Notes
Chicken Burgers should be chilled overnight for best results.
