Greek Chicken Hummus Burgers

Picture
Here is a fun math equation that I think you should try at home.  

Ground chicken + Hummus = Flavorful Protein-Packed Burgers 

Don't think these two ingredients add up correctly?  Well, you do the math and let me know if this equation makes sense to you.  

​Happy cooking mathematicians!

greek hummus burgers 

Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup hummus (I used Sabra Roasted Pine Nut Hummus) 
  • 1/2 cup crushed pita chips (I used Stacy's Whole Grain Pita Chips)
  • 1 large egg, whisked
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • burger buns
Hummus Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup hummus (Pine Nut Hummus) 
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 14 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
Recommended toppings: 
  • 12 cucumber slices
  • 1 roasted red pepper, sliced (put 1 whole red pepper in a 400 degrees oven for about 20 minutes) 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  When oven is heated, place your red pepper in the oven on a baking tray to roast.  Then, heat your grill or large pan to prepare for cooking the burgers. 
 
2.  In a large bowl, combine chicken and other ingredients.  The mixture will be wet and gooey!  Form this mixture into either 12 small slider size patties or 8 regular size patties. 

3.  Cover and refrigerate patties for about 30 mins.(If you don't have time for this part, that's okay). 

4.  On a grill or large skillet, cook the patties on medium heat.  About 4-5 mins on each side, or until cooked through.  Toast your burger buns too! 

5.  While burgers are cooking, prepare your hummus sauce by mixing hummus, lemon juice, basil and ground pepper together.

6.  Serve your delicious burgers on a toasted bun, with a large spoonful of hummus sauce. Add your roasted red pepper and cucumber slices for added flavor and crunch.  

I hope you enjoyed doing the math with this recipe.  Enjoy this filling protein-packed burger! 

           Always craving good food,
