Ingredients
- 1½ lb ground chicken
- 2 lb russet potatoes
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 count hamburger buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 head green leaf lettuce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 count medium tomatoes
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Cut the potatoes into wedges or sticks, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt, and roast on a sheet pan 28-30 minutes, flipping once.
- Gently mix the ground chicken with panko, Worcestershire, garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. Shape into 4 patties with damp hands.
- Cook the patties in a skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil (or on the grill) over medium heat 5-6 minutes per side until they reach 165°F.
- Top with cheddar in the last minute and cover to melt.
- Serve on toasted buns with lettuce, sliced tomato, and the fries.
- Picky eater tip: serve the patty, a plain bun and fries separately, with toppings on the side.
- Make ahead: shape the patties up to 1 day ahead and keep them covered in the fridge.
On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)
1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)
- Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
