Ingredients
- 1½ lb ground chicken
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 red and yellow bell peppers
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Steps
- Combine ketchup, frozen raspberries, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until raspberries break down and sauce thickens, about 5–6 minutes; set aside.
- Cut bell peppers into thick strips and brush lightly with oil; preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Mix ground chicken with breadcrumbs and form four patties about ¾ inch thick; grill 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F internal temperature), and grill pepper strips 4–5 minutes until charred and soft.
- Lightly toast buns on the grill, 1 minute per side, if desired.
- Assemble burgers: place one patty on each bun, top with berry-BBQ sauce and charred pepper strips.
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
