    Thai Chicken Burgers

    Lighter in calories and fat than beef, and so moist in texture. Give these ground chicken breast Thai Chicken Sliders a try.

    Three thai chicken sliders with sweet chile sauce.

    You can serve these tasty little patties over greens, or wrap them in beautiful little butter lettuce leaves. I’ll take slider buns, thank you ver much.

    I decided to turn these flavorful chicken patties into Thai chicken sliders, simply using sweet Chile Sauce for the condiment.

    Here’s what cool about these these little patties

    • They stay nice and moist with the addition of grated zucchini and carrot.
    • They are deliciously flavored with ginger, onion, cilantro, and lime.
    • I have to admit, as much as I like beef burgers, these are a refreshing break.

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 pound ground chicken meat breast meat or breast and thigh combined
    • 1/2 large white onion finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • 1 cup zucchini grated and drained
    • 1 carrot grated
    • 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger grated
    • 1 teaspoon lime zest
    • 1 jalapeno seeded and diced (I used a mild variety with no heat)
    • 2 Tablespoon fish sauce
    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
    • 1 large egg slightly beaten
    • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
    • 1/4 Cup fresh cilantro chopped
    • Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce I use the Trader Joe’s brand
    • 12 slider buns
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Grilled outside or on a cast iron grill pan indoors, allow them to create a sear on one side before turning.
    • Combine all ingredients. The mix will be a little soft. Chill in the refrigerator while the grill or pan heat up.
    • Heat your pan to medium/high heat. Take out the meat mixture and scoop with a muffin scoop for uniform patties. Brush your grill lightly with vegetable oil, place patties on the grill and gently flatten with a spatula. They should be about 1/2″ thick. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until you achieve clear grill marks. Place on a baking pan and finish off for 5-8 minutes in a 350 degree oven so they will cook all the way through. Cover with aluminum foil until ready to serve.
    • Serve over a big salad or wrap in a lettuce leaf or make them as sliders. Dip in sweet chili dipping sauce for an extra flavor kick, or if making sliders, drizzle the chili sauce over the patty as a condiment.

      I have loved all the versions of sliders you’ve posted! This one looks and sounds delicious. I checked out Andrea’s blog and am so going to make Gyoza. Just a side note, the first time I ever heard of Sliders was the famous White Castle sliders that the Beastie Boys sang about on License to Ill. Still love that CD. 🙂

        Thanks Vickie. I really wanted to make that Gyoza, but I swear I still feel like I’m catching up from my trip and the homemade version seemed a little daunting. Let me know when you make them. I’ve not heard that Beastie Boys song … heading to seek it out.

      These sound amazing, Leeann. I can use low-carb breadcrumbs for the panko and give these a try! I look forward to trying them! Bet you could make them with ground pork loin, too.

      The Thai chicken patties alone sound delicious and SO versatile for everything from an appetizer to a light lunch, and make an awesome slider component. I’m in!
