Jalapeño Chicken Burger



Ingredients:
2 lbs of ground chicken
2 Eggs
2 Tbs of flour
2 Tbs of pepper
2 Tsp of salt
1 Cup of chopped red onions
1 Cup of chopped carrots
4-5 Sticks of cilantro
1 Jalapeño pepper

Hamburger buns
Sliced tomatoes 
Sliced red onions
Slices of cheese
Lettuce

1. Dice the cilantro
2. Remove the seeds from the Jalapeño pepper (be careful not to touch your face or eyes...it might sting)

3. Dice the Jalapeño pepper
4. In a large bowl, mix the 2 pounds of ground chicken, 1 cup of chopped red onions, 1 cup of chopped carrots, diced cilantro and diced Jalapeño pepper

5. Add 2 tbs of flour, 2 tbs of ground pepper, 2 tsp of salt and 2 eggs

6. Mix all the ingredients together with a spatula 

7. Turn on the grill (I'm using a Cuisinart Griddle/Panini Maker, you can also use a pan on the stove)
8. With a large serving spoon or your hand make a giant meatball and then flatten the ball (to the shape of a meat patty) and place on your grill or stove to cook.


9. Turn off the grill/stove once the patties are fully cook

10. Toast the hamburger buns
11. Build your burger, I like to add cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. or sometimes I add sliced red onions but no cheese, it depends on what you like.  Serve and enjoy!
