I love this Healthy Chicken Burgers Recipe! Burgers are usually bought ready-made from the supermarket or at the butchers. But, making them at home is much simpler, cheaper and healthier, as you knows what goes in them.
They can be made with beef, pork, fish, chicken, etc. This article shows you how to make chicken burgers. Once prepared, you’ll be eating them in a thousand different ways: in a burger bun, accompanied by salad, pasta, potatoes and a host of other ingredients.
These healthy burgers are a bit too lean and delicate for the barbecue, so cook them on the stove instead.
