Ingredients




1 lb lean ground chicken
4 Tbsp teriyaki sauce, divided
fresh scallions, sliced
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
12 oz broccoli cole slaw mix
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp honey
2 tsp sesame oil
juice of 1/2 a lime
fresh cilantro, chopped
2 sesame kaiser rolls, toasted

Preparation

1 I like to make the Asian slaw a few hours ahead of time so the flavors really meld. In a bowl whisk together the vegetable oil, 2 Tbsp sliced scallions, the grated garlic cloves, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice and a palm full of fresh chopped cilantro (more or less to taste). 2 Stir the broccoli cole slaw mix into the dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate. 3 I also like to make the burger patties a bit ahead of time as well. In a bowl mix the ground chicken, 2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce, some scallion and the garlic and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 2 equal sized patties, cover and refrigerate. 4 Heat a large non stick pan over medium high heat. Add in just a drizzle of olive oil or cooking spray. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side {may vary depending on thickness}. 5 When you flip the burger the first time, brush the burgers with some more teriyaki sauce and repeat on the second side of the burger. 6 Place the burger on the bun, a little extra teriyaki sauce if you'd like and a big mound of the Asian slaw. You'll likely have some slaw left over, its great over a piece of grilled chicken over mixed greens.

About

How incredibly gorgeous is this Teriyaki Chicken Burger with Asian Slaw?!?! The bright colors of the Asian slaw overtop a big fat juicy chicken burger, almost too pretty to eat. I haven’t had a beef burger in months and I honestly don’t miss them at all! There is so much you can do to ground chicken and ground turkey and the results are still an incredible burger, just with a whole lot fewer calories!
The ground chicken is flavored with scallions, garlic, onion powder and teriyaki sauce. The slaw is actually broccoli slaw rather then a cabbage based cole slaw with a light Asian dressing. Perfectly toasty bun to hold everything in place and you’ve got yourself this awesome burger!
