Ingredients
  

Chicken Teriyaki Burgers

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Sesame Slaw

  • 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

For Serving

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 1/4 cup yum yum sauce mayonnaise, sriracha, or chili crisp

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and green onions. Toss well and refrigerate while preparing the burgers.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, teriyaki sauce, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and salt. Mix gently until evenly combined.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties.
  • Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the Chicken Teriyaki Burgers for 3–5 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove the burgers and lightly toast the brioche buns in the same skillet.
  • Spread your preferred sauce on both halves of each bun.
  • Add the burger patty, top generously with sesame slaw, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Toasting the buns adds extra flavor and texture.
  • For a spicy version, mix sriracha into the yum yum sauce.
  • Pickled cucumbers make an excellent topping.
  • Serve with sweet potato fries, roasted potatoes, or steamed edamame.
