Chili Lime Chicken Burgers
When I first started the SCD a few years ago, I lived on these chili lime chicken burgers. I actually used to just eat the patty with some fresh ketchup and mustard. My husband likes his burgers to be a little more substantial, so for dinner the other night, I made them like a real burger.
Juicy, messy, and with a bun.
I used my grain-free crusty dinner roll as the hamburger bun, which was so much better than wrapping the burger in lettuce or eating it alone. You can really put anything you’d like on it, but we piled ours high with fresh guacamole, lettuce, tomato, homemade mayonnaise, and pepper jack cheese.
| Ingredients (makes 4 burgers) For The Patties 1 pound ground chicken 1/4 cup red onions, chopped 1/4 cup red bell peppers, chopped 1 clove of garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup lime juice 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes For the Assembly 1 recipe for Grain-Free Crusty Dinner Rolls |
Directions
Saute the onions, bell peppers, and garlic in a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook them for 10 minutes, or until they’re soft.
Place the chicken, onion mix, cilantro, salt, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
Mix with your hands until combined. Divide the meat into 4, then shape into 4 patties.
Grill for about 6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature registers 175 degrees.
Toast the rolls, then pile high with any toppings your heart desires!

Yum! I seem to have a never-ending list of different turkey and chicken burgers to try. This sounds right up our alley
Holy Cow!! These are AWESOME! Made them tonight and used an Udi’s bun. I will try your grain free dinner rolls when I have time to make them. GREAT recipe! Thanks!!
Made these for dinner last night and they were AMAZING! In rotation now as a new favorite dinner option!
We ended up just using lettuce as the “bun” and serving with homemade black beans on the side. I want them again tonight! 
found your website through chowstalker, and made this for lunch today. my boy, 17, is super suspicious about what’s in his food, but i used roasted red peppers and caramelized onions as a condiment instead of adding red ones to the burgers, and he liked them. the lime juice really adds nice flavor, as does the cheese.
thanks!
Thanks Jenn!
I’m wondering if I can use all white chicken meat in this, or if I should use some thigh meat.
