Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chicken breast I used 98% lean
- 4 slices bacon, uncooked & diced
- 1/2 medium red onion finely diced (135g)
- 1 medium red apple finely diced (150g)
- 3 Tbsp freshly chopped dill
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil divided
Optional For Serving:
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- Condiments of choice like lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, sliced apples, apple chutney, bacon, etc!
Instructions
- Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil to a skillet and set to medium heat. Once shiny, add the bacon and red onion. Cook for 3 minutes then add the diced apples. Continue cooking for another 2-4 minutes or until the apple has softened and bacon is slightly cooked. It won’t be fully cooked or crispy. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- To the same bowl, add the ground chicken, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Then form into five even patties with your hands. Slightly press down on the centers of the patties with your thumb. (Burgers expand in the middle as they cook, so pressing the centers down helps them to cook more evenly).
- Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Add burgers so they are not overcrowded (you may have to do multiple batches) and cook for 5-6 minutes. Then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F or the center is no longer pink.
- Toast bun, if desired, then add your favorite toppings! I love light mayo, tomato, lettuce and cheddar cheese. Apple Cabbage Slaw or Apple Chutney would also be tasty on this!
