Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup Havarti cheese, grated
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup capers, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • zest of one lemon
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard, for garnish
  • tomato slices for garnish
  • cucumber slices for garnish
Imperial – Metric

Instructions

  • Place chicken in a wide dish. Spread out so it covers the widest area possible. Evenly sprinkle with the remaining burger ingredients.
  • Stir with a fork or use your fingers to evenly distribute ingredients. Stir chicken as little as possible because working it toughens the burger. Divide in four, then form each into a burger about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. To avoid a bulging centre, use your thumb to gently press an indent in the centre of each.
  • Coat a wide frying pan with oil or spray and place over medium heat. Add burgers and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes a side. Then decrease heat to medium-low. Cover and continue cooking 4 to 5 more minutes a side.
  • Meanwhile stir sour cream with Dijon until blended. Serve burgers in warm buns topped with dollops of the Dijon-sour cream, sliced ripe tomatoes and thinly sliced cucumber.
