Chicken BLT Burgers with Blue Cheese
Flavorful chicken patties mixed with herbs and spices, served on brioche buns with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, tomato, smashed avocado, and a creamy blue cheese sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb chicken thigh fillets (roughly chopped, then pulsed in a food processor until it resembles mince)
- 2 tbsp chives (finely chopped)
- 1 1/2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tbsp runny honey
- 2 oz fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1 medium egg (beaten)
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 4 oz soft blue cheese (mashed (suggested: St Agur))
- 3 1/2 oz soured cream
- 1 small garlic clove (crushed)
- 2 small ripe avocados (halved, stoned and peeled, roughly mashed with a fork)
- 1 lime juice
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 6 slices thick-cut streaky bacon (grilled until crisp)
- 6 brioche burger buns (halved and toasted)
- 3 ripe tomatoes (sliced)
- 6 soft lettuce leaves
Instructions
- To make the burgers, trim and discard any sinews from the chicken, roughly chop, then pulse in a food processor until it resembles mince. Empty into a large bowl and mix in chives, mustard, honey, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 tsp fine salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
- Divide mixture equally into 6 and shape each portion into a flattened patty about 1/2 inch (3/4 inch) thick. Arrange on a lightly greased plate, cover and chill for 1 hour to firm up.
