INSTRUCTIONS
Prep:
Slice the Cabbage: Lengthwise slice the cabbage in half then lay the half flat and thinly slice crosswise into cabbage shreds.
Mince the Garlic: Cut off the root, bash the flat side of the knife onto the cloves to remove the peel then thinly slice each clove. Rock the knife over the sliced pile a few times to finely mince the garlic.
Dice the Onion: Cut the onion in half lengthwise. Turn the half vertically and make thin slices but leave the root intact. Then turn the onion horizontally and push the knife crosswise into the slices. Then, thinly slice to make small, diced pieces.
Chop the Parsley: Bunch the leaves together, cut off the stems, then thinly slice. Rock the knife over the sliced pile of leaves a few times until they are finely chopped.
Cook:
Grind the Chicken: Slice 14 oz skinless boneless chicken thighs into small cubes then place them in a food processor and process until the texture resembles ground meat.
Make the Patties Mix: In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken with 1 medium egg, 2 oz onion, 1 tbsp garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup plain panko breadcrumbs.
Mold the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts, scoop each part into your palm, and press down lightly with a spoon. Use your fingers to mold around the edges.
Prepare the Buns: Leave 2 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature to soften. Slice 4 hamburger buns in half then spread the softened butter over the cut sides of the buns.
Grill the Buns: On a griddle over small heat, place the buns buttered-sides down and cook for around 2 minutes then remove from the heat.
Grill the Patties: Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the griddle then add the patties and grill for 5 minutes over low heat on each side until the meat is browned.
Assemble the Burger: Spread 4 tbsp plain Greek yogurt onto the insides of the buns then layer 4 oz green leaf lettuce, 6 oz tomato, 2 oz red cabbage, and the patties in between 2 bun halves. Sprinkle 2 tbsp parsley and enjoy.
