These Chicken Burgers are a must-make weeknight meal when you want to whip up an out-of-this-world amazing dinner but don’t have a lot of time. (Seriously, the prep work is virtually non-existent!) These burgers call for ground chicken instead of beef and have such a unique flavor due to all the fresh herbs and vegetables. Burger patties – whether made from beef, pork, lamb, chicken or even beans – are great for adding hidden veggies, but you can doctor them up with delicious spices and herbs to make them taste amazing, too. Sounds like a win-win to me!
Using a combination of dill, oregano, red onion, cilantro, rosemary and garlic powder, these Chicken Burgers boast a flavor profile that will have you coming back for seconds. And because we’re (obviously) big collagen fans at Vital Proteins®, I added 1 scoop of Vital Proteins Chicken Bone Broth Collagen. Ready to give it a try? Keep scrolling for the full collagen recipe.
