Chicken Teriyaki Burgers with Sesame Slaw

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb. ground chicken

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups shredded cabbage

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

2 tablespoons avocado oil for frying

4 brioche buns

1/4 cup yum yum sauce (or mayo, sriracha, chili crisp, whatever sauce you like)

Directions

Make the Sesame Slaw:

Toss the slaw ingredients together. Taste and adjust.

Make the Burgers:

Combine chicken, teriyaki sauce, panko, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix with your (clean) hands until well-combined. Form into 4 large patties.

Fry the Burgers:

Heat a bit of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the burgers to the hot pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until golden and mostly cooked through; flip to finish for another 2-3 minutes. Cook until no longer pink in the middle, or a meat thermometer registers at least 165 degrees Farenheit.

Toast Buns

Wipe out the skillet if there are burned bits left in the pan. Pop your buns into the skillet for just a second, cut side down over medium low heat, to get them lightly toasted.

Assemble Burgers

Spread top and bottom buns with yum yum sauce, place a burger, and top with the sesame slaw. Press burgers together, slice into it, and enjoy your life. I love these so much.
