Flourless Chicken and Broccoli Burgers

Ingredients

• 300 g Chicken (Chicken thighs were used, cut into small pieces.)
• 100 g Broccoli (Grated.)
• 60 g Grated cheese
• 2 Eggs (Approximately 100 g of egg without shells.)
• 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil (For cooking in the skillet.)
• Salt (To taste.)
• Black pepper (To taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken into small, uniform pieces. It is not necessary to mince it; the small pieces will help the burgers hold together and cook evenly.

2. 2

   Place the chicken in a bowl. Add the eggs, grated broccoli, grated cheese, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Mix all the ingredients until evenly distributed and a moist mixture forms that can be compacted.

4. 4

   Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

5. 5

   Divide the mixture into portions and shape them into compact burgers with your hands. Carefully place them in the hot skillet, leaving space between them.

6. 6

   Cover the skillet and cook the burgers for 5 minutes on the first side, until the base is golden brown and the mixture has set.

7. 7

   Flip the burgers with a spatula. Cover the skillet again and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

8. 8

   Remove the burgers from the skillet and serve hot. If desired, serve them with a salad or low-carb vegetables.

Notes

The post states that the recipe serves 2 people and is prepared in a skillet in less than 15 minutes. For greater safety, verify that the center of the chicken reaches 74 °C.
