Recipe Chicken Paprika Burger

[The Late Night Gourmet]

There are a wide range of heat levels in Hungarian paprika. My 1 teaspoon added a nice flavor. but I know that a feistier paprika could obliterate the flavor of the meat. Proceed with caution!

NOTE: when I make ground meat, I always add salt and pepper to the grind. The type you buy pre-ground likely will need more salt.

Ingredients

5 ounces ground chicken breast
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
2 tablespoons pickled peppers
salt and pepper (enough to sprinkle both sides of the patty)

Directions

1. Blend ground chicken with paprika.

2. Chop peppers if desired, and mix into ground chicken.

3. Form a patty, and cook on medium heat.

4. Cook for 5 minutes per side, then flip over. Some of the crispy bits got stuck on the pan, resulting in a bare section toward the bottom of the picture. I naturally scrapped every bit up and enjoyed picking at them.

I like the pieces of pickled peppers in the mix - looks pretty! I think this would work with minced (ground) pork as well perhaps.
