Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 leaves of lettuce
• Cooking oil for frying

How to Make Cheesy Chicken and Egg Burger

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
2. Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of cooking oil. Cook the chicken patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and are golden brown.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt.
5. While the cheese is melting, in a separate skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Toast the sesame seed buns in the skillet until golden brown.
7. Assemble the burger: spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, add a lettuce leaf, then place the cheesy chicken patty on top. Finish with the fried egg and the top half of the bun.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken mixture with your favorite spices or herbs.
• Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping of the chicken patties and frying the eggs.
• Adjust the doneness of the egg according to your preference; a runny yolk adds delicious richness.

Easy Variations

• Swap the cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
• Add sliced avocado or tomato for added freshness.
• Use turkey or beef instead of chicken for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Sweet potato fries for a delightful crunch.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the burger.
• Coleslaw for a tangy, crunchy side.
