Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup lettuce leaves
• Vegetable oil for frying

How to Make Loaded Cheesy Chicken Burger

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into four equal patties, ensuring they’re slightly larger than your buns as they will shrink while cooking.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of vegetable oil. Cook the chicken patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
4. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.
5. While the cheese is melting, fry the eggs in a separate pan. Heat a little oil over medium heat, crack an egg into the pan, and cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Toast the sesame seed buns lightly on the skillet or in a toaster.
7. Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom bun, adding a lettuce leaf, placing the cheesy chicken patty on top, and finishing with a fried egg. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to season your chicken mixture well for maximum flavor.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding hot sauce to the mayonnaise or mixing some into the chicken patty mixture.
• For extra crunch, add pickles or crispy bacon to your burger.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chicken for turkey or beef if you prefer.
• Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda for a unique twist.
• Add avocado slices or sautéed mushrooms for more flavor and texture.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries for a classic combo.
• A fresh garden salad for a lighter side.
• Coleslaw to add a crunchy, tangy element to your meal.
