Ingredients

450g ground chicken

50g breadcrumbs

1 egg

2 tbsp Blenders Sriracha

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp ground coriander

1 clove garlic, minced

¼ tsp black pepper

Salt, to taste

50g Blenders Sweet Tomato Relish

1 fresh jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)

4 burger buns (brioche or regular)

40g iceberg lettuce

4 slices cheddar cheese

Pickles (optional)

Method

Step 1:

Make the relish topping. Combine Blenders Sweet Tomato Relish with the chopped jalapeño. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the flavour develop.

Step 2:

Mix the chicken burgers. In a large bowl, combine chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, Blenders Sriracha, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, black pepper and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3:

Shape and cook. Divide the mixture into 4 chicken burgers. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 75°C). Place a slice of cheddar on each burger in the last minute to melt.

Step 4:

Toast the buns. Lightly toast the burger buns in a pan or oven for 2–3 minutes until golden.

Step 5:

Build the burger. Layer lettuce on the bottom bun, top with the chicken burger and melted cheese, add a generous spoonful of the sweet tomato and jalapeño relish, and finish with pickles if using.
