These are great to have in your back pocket for busy days, busy weeks or in case of a “kids-are-making-me-crazy” kinda moment. (My husband also loves these meals because he’s on clean-up duty and it’s nice not to have a huge pile of dishes staring you down after dinner!) Many of these dishes are complete meals on their own. Others are low-carb as written, but can easily be paired with some rice, pasta, bread or potatoes to bulk them up a bit. Here are…
      • Slow Cooker Chicken RecipesThese hands-off slow cooker chicken recipes will put your slow cooker to work and have you coming home to a delicious, healthy dinner that’s ready to go!

Everything from one-pot veggie pastas to stuffed squash to chili to veggie burgers and hearty grain bowls and salads, there are meatless options here for everyone! I am a veggie lover through and through. 💚💚💚 I adore getting in as many vegetables as I can, throughout the day really, and I often make easy vegetarian dinners a couple of times a week. (Hello meatless Monday, I’m looking at you!) So over the years, I’ve created tons of great veggie-based meals that can stand on their own for lunch or dinner and be hearty and satisfying. And that are also mostly quick and easy, because I work as a health and nutrition editor and we’ve got a busy family so cooking on a weeknight needs to be low-key. My one-pot vegetarian spaghetti has been a hugely popular recipe here on the blog and you guys can’t seem to get enough of my grain bowls and salads. I know the feeling. 😉 I wanted to round up some of these in an easy-to-browse category that features…

And I mean all four of us – my husband, myself and our kids (currently ages 6 and 4). Our go-to 3-minute microwave oatmeal is a morning staple for my husband and a weekly staple for the kids and me. My kids eat overnight oatmeal jars at least twice a week for breakfast and we often have baked oatmeal another morning of the week. For school lunches or afternoon snack, we can be found munching on some no-bake cookie or energy balls with oats, oatmeal cookies of some variety or if they’ve asked nicely, I’ll make a batch of granola and we all just shovel handful after handful until it’s gone.

These 5-ingredient cheddar chicken burgers are BIG on flavor and take just 20 minutes to make! They’re perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!5-ingredient cheddar chicken burgers are BIG on flavor and take just 20 minutes! They're perfect for a quick weeknight dinner! #chickenburgers #groundchicken #chickenrecipes #dinnerideas

So, Memorial Day and summertime are upon us. I’m not sure how that happened, but I’m excited all the same!

And I’m ready for all the grilling things and BBQs and picnics and eating outside.

Problem is, I don’t really do regular beef burgers. Not a fan. I haven’t had one in probably 15 years or more and don’t miss it one bit.

Veggie burgers? Count me in every time!

Black bean burgers? I’m sold (sorry for the pictures on that recipe though. Need to remake those!)

Chicken or turkey burgers? Yes please!

5-ingredient cheddar chicken burgers are BIG on flavor and take just 20 minutes! They're perfect for a quick weeknight dinner! #chickenburgers #groundchicken #chickenrecipes #dinnerideas

And today’s cheddar chicken burgers are one of my favorites! They are lighter than a regular burger but have ALL the flavors and tons of meaty juicy bite to them.

I’m a little addicted.

I had two in one day last week (one at lunch, one at dinner) and may or may not have had another one two days later. #somuchflavor #cantstopwontstop

And I promise, you will not miss the beef.

Now, I’ve got some notes and tips coming up for this recipe. Just tryin’ to be helpful.

If you want to jump on down to the recipe, simply scroll right on through the rest of the text. The recipe card is near the bottom of the page, above the comments section.

Cheddar chicken burgers served on buns with leafy lettuce

Reasons I love these chicken burgers:

  • 5 ingredients. No filler. Each ingredient is maxed out on flavor so they are all pulling their weight, but it makes these so easy to throw together.
  • Pockets of gooey cheese. Dicing up cheddar cheese and folding it into the burger mixture is like hiding cheese bombs in your burger that are just waiting to explode in your mouth. #swoon
  • If you’re lucky, some cheese will ooze out while you’re cooking them. It will fry right there in the pan and be a crispy, crunchy, fried cheese glory for you to nibble while you plate the burgers.
  • They’ve got a slight garlic edge to them. Not overpowering, just a good balance in the background and a perfect partner for the cheese and chicken. If you’re really shy on garlic, use just one clove here.

I should also note, they’re on the salty side.

For me, this is a glorious thing because an under-seasoned burger is just side.

And let’s be clear, there’s no salt added in the ingredients. But if “salt” is one of the first ingredients in your grill seasoning, well, then, these are gonna be a bit salty.

I do use low-sodium Worcestershire sauce and recommend you do too, to cut down on the sodium a little.

What kind of ground chicken should I use in chicken burgers?

I use lean ground chicken that’s usually labeled 90% to 93% lean. The super lean kind (99% lean) doesn’t have very much flavor in my opinion.

You can also make your own ground chicken. Cut a pound of raw chicken breasts into smaller pieces and place them in a food processor. Pulse and process until the chicken breasts are broken down. You can use half chicken thighs too if you want to mix in some dark meat.

Cheddar chicken burgers served with toppings and a creamy sauce

How do I cook chicken burgers?

I typically make our burgers in a skillet on the stove. It takes about 5 minutes per side over medium-high heat. I think they stay the juiciest this way.

You can also grill them, if you prefer. I suggest greasing your grill very well and monitoring for flare-ups. Otherwise, it should also be about 5 minutes per side over medium-high heat.

You could also bake the chicken burgers in the oven. They will take about 20 minutes at 375 degrees. (I recommend you line your baking sheet with Parchment paper for easy clean up.)

And now, let’s have some fun and dress these burgers up!

Topping ideas for chicken burgers:

– Feel free to add some extra cheddar cheese on top of these burgers as they cook. I add it after I flip them. And if the cheese isn’t melting quickly enough, cover your pan and it will melt right down.

– Regular burger pairings like lettuce, tomato, red onion, ketchup and mustard are great here.

– Sliced avocado or a dollop of guacamole are fun additions. 🥑

– You can’t go wrong with adding some bacon to a burger. 🥓

– Pickled red onions, pickled jalapeños or pickles are a great add-on too.

– You can also make a creamy yogurt sauce, like you see in these pictures. Just mix together some plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or sour cream), some Dijon mustard and a couple of dashes of hot sauce.

– Other sauces include salsa, pesto or a flavored hummus.

And of course, we normally serve these as burgers in a burger bun.

However, if you’re looking to lighten this baby up, you can eat it over a salad. That’s usually how I have it at lunchtime.

You can just plop the burger on some chopped lettuce mixed with tomatoes and drizzle a little mustard vinaigrette over top. Divine!

Or eat it in a lettuce wrap – also a good option. 👍

How to store chicken burgers:

* You can freeze leftover chicken patties for up to 6 months. I prefer to cook all of the patties and then freeze the already cooked extras, so I don’t have to worry about raw chicken. Place them in a freezer-safe ziptop bag, that’s labeled, and keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.

* You can store extras in the fridge as well for up to 4-5 days if you will use them later in the week. (They are great as protein for salads, grain bowls and wraps.)

* To reheat, make sure any frozen patties are thawed. (Place them in the fridge overnight.) Then reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute, adding an extra 15 seconds at a time as needed. Or reheat in a pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side, until heated through.

And lastly, let’s round out this meal!

What to serve with cheddar chicken burgers:

Potatoes are always a good choice in my book. You can use store-bought fries or potato wedges (from the freezer section) or make roasted potatoes (like my paprika roasted potatoes or easy spicy roasted potatoes).

Pasta salad is another great side dish for burgers. Caprese pasta salad or classic spaghetti salad would be great.

For some veggie sides, salads are always a great easy choice. Citrus kale salad, broccoli apple salad and my easy summer salad with blueberries are good options. You can check out all of my healthy summer salads for more inspiration!

I hope you give these cheddar burgers a try for a fun twist on dinner.

Enjoy!

XO,

Kathryn

Cheddar chicken burgers

Cheddar chicken burgers served with toppings and a creamy sauce

These 5-ingredient cheddar chicken burgers are BIG on flavor and take just 20 minutes start to finish!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground chicken (see notes)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (I recommend low-sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning (such as Weber’s Montana steak seasoning or McCormick’s Grill Mates steak seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese cubes, about 1/4-inch dice

For cooking:

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

For serving:

  • 4 burger buns
  • Your favorite toppings: extra cheddar on top, lettuce, tomato, red onion, ketchup, mustard, pickles, jalapeños, bacon, avocado, guac, etc.

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients (except oil) in a bowl and mix until combined. Don’t overmix.
  2. Form 4 patties, each about 1-inch thick. Try to ensure the cheddar chunks are evenly distributed. (Note: The mixture will be wet, but it holds together. It helps to wet your hands before forming the patties.)
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add burgers to the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Flip over and cook another 5 minutes, until cooked through. (If your stove is getting too hot, just reduce the heat slightly when you flip the burgers. Also, add your extra sliced cheddar now if you want to have cheddar on top of these burgers too.)
  5. Remove patties to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve in a bun with desired burger toppings.

Notes

You can also cook these on a well-greased grill, if you prefer.

I use lean ground chicken that’s usually labeled 90% to 93% lean. The super lean kind (99% lean) doesn’t have very much flavor in my opinion.

You can also make your own ground chicken. Cut a pound of raw chicken breasts into smaller pieces and place them in a food processor. Pulse and process until the chicken breasts are broken down. You can use half chicken thighs too if you want to mix in some dark meat.

The burgers here are topped with an easy mustard-yogurt mixture. It's about 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt and 1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard mixed together. I like adding a few dashes of hot sauce, too!

You can freeze leftover chicken patties for up to 6 months. I prefer to cook all of the patties and then freeze the already cooked extras, so I don't have to worry about raw chicken. Place them in a freezer-safe ziptop bag, that's labeled, and keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.

You can store extras in the fridge as well for up to 4-5 days if you will use them later in the week. (They are great as protein for salads, grain bowls and wraps.)

To reheat, make sure any frozen patties are thawed. (Place them in the fridge overnight.) Then reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute, adding an extra 15 seconds at a time as needed. Or reheat in a pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side, until heated through.

    These will go on my list! They look and sound incredible! I love that you put a little cheese in there – I’ve had a hard time in the past with a lot of chicken or turkey burgers – by the time you get them up to temp they can be a little dry ad that cheese (besides being delish) would keep them moist!

    Thanks for sharing this with us at Throwback Thursday this week!

    Oooh, yum! My husband is a beefy burger man, but I could probably talk him into at least trying these. They look amazing! Thanks for sharing at Throwback Thursday!

      Thanks Carlee! My husband is the same way, but he loved these cheesy chicken burgers!

    I do not usually comment on recipes but, wow, these are marvelous! All four kids plus a picky husband loved these tonight. The only change I will make next time is doubing the recipe so we can have leftovers. Thank you for this recipe!
