Russian Style Burger with Chicken Thighs and Berry Sauce

Chicken Patty In a food processor, pulse the chicken thighs until minced.

2.Transfer the minced chicken to a large mixing bowl and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

3.Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties.

Cooking the Patties Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium heat. Cook the burger patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Berry Sauce While the patties are cooking, prepare the berry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the berries soften and release their juices. Use a fork or a blender to mash the berries slightly, leaving some texture.

Burger Assembly Toast the burger buns on a grill or in a toaster.

7.Place a cooked chicken patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a slice of cheese, lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, and sliced red onions. Drizzle the berry sauce over the toppings, then cover with the top half of the bun.

8.Serve the Russian Style Chicken Burger with extra berry sauce on the side.
