Fiery Grilled Chicken Burgers with Cool Lemon Mint Sauce
These fiery chili chicken burgers are seasoned with roasted red chili paste, garlic and cilantro! Served with a cool mint lemon yogurt sauce they make a perfect fast, easy and healthy meal!
Heat up your grill pan over medium-high heat. Cover the bottom on a cast iron skillet with 2 sheets of aluminum foil.
While the grill pan heats up, mix together chicken, chili paste, cilantro, salt, pepper, and garlic in a medium bowl. Wet your hands and form into 4 equal patties.
When the grill is hot, brush with olive oil and place patties on the grill pan. Place skillet on top of patties, foil side down, trying to distribute the weight evenly.
Set your timer for 5 minutes. Flip burgers, take off one layer of the foil on the skillet, place skillet back on the patties. Cook an additional 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°.
Remove patties to a plate, cover with foil to rest 5-10 minutes.
For the Yogurt Spread:
In the small cup of a Nutribullet add all ingredients. Blend until smooth.
Taste and adjust any ingredients as desired.
You can also make this in a bowl or with an immersion blender, but if you make it in a bowl, mince your mint leaves as fine as you can first!
For the Carrot & Cucumber Salad:
Shave the carrot and cucumber with a mandoline or vegetable peeler. Toss in enough rice wine vinegar to coat; sprinkle with salt and sugar to taste. Let marinate in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat. This can be made the day before if you wish.
