Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, curry powder, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the patties are golden brown.
- While the burgers are grilling, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining plain yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir well and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
- To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a cooked chicken patty, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of the yogurt sauce. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
- Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh cucumber salad for a complete meal.
- Feel free to use whole wheat buns for a healthier option.
