Ingredients
1 lb Ground Chicken (thigh meat recommended)
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
3 tbsp Fresh basil, finely chopped
3 tbsp Green onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp Sweet chili sauce (plus extra for glazing)
1.5 tbsp Mayo
3 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp Lime zest
1 tsp Kosher salt
2 cups Shredded cabbage mix (green and purple)
1/2 cup Shredded carrots
1 Serrano pepper, sliced
1 tbsp Sesame oil
Instructions
Combine ground chicken, panko, basil, green onions, sweet chili sauce, mayo, garlic, ginger, lime zest, and salt in a bowl.
Mix gently until just combined and form into four equal patties.
Refrigerate patties for 15 minutes to firm up.
In a separate bowl, toss cabbage, carrots, serrano pepper, sesame oil, and extra sweet chili sauce to make the slaw.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked through.
Brush the patties with additional sweet chili sauce during the last minute of cooking.
Serve burgers topped with the fresh sesame slaw.
Notes
Use gluten-free panko if needed. For a milder slaw, remove the seeds from the serrano pepper. Leftovers keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
