This recipe can use full chicken breasts or you can purchase premade chicken breast patties. Either will work well enough. Just don't try to use breaded patties. They don't take the marinade well and will crumble well before grilling.
Ingredients
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts or 4 chicken breast patties
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tsp garlic powder
4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp Dijon mustard
4 tbsp mayonnaise
4 Hamburger Buns
topping of your choice
Preparation
If using chicken breasts, split each in half, making 4 portions. Pound gently until you have a uniform thickness, about ¼-inch. too thick and they won't cook. If you are using patties, you can obviously skip this step. Mix the ⅓ cup of honey, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a shallow dish that will hold all four burgers comfortably. Remove about ⅓ of the marinade and place it in a small bowl or cup. Set aside.
Add the chicken to the baking dish. Turn it several times to coat, then place in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, turning every hour or so. When you're ready to make the burgers, preheat the grill. Remove the chicken from the fridge and discard the marinade in the dish. Place chicken on the hot grill and cook, basting with the marinade a few times, for about 5 minutes on each side. You may need to cook them a little longer depending on the heat of your grill. Make sure they are thoroughly cooked.
While you're grilling the burgers, combine the 4 tbsp of honey with the Dijon mustard and the mayonnaise. Mix well in a small bowl. This is the honey sauce for your completed burgers. Also take a moment to split the buns if you haven't already done so. You may toast the buns, if desired.
Remove the chicken from the grill and place on the buns. Drizzle the honey sauce on top of the chicken. Add any toppings you like. Try lettuce or tomato, even pickles are delicious on this burger.
Serve immediately. This recipe makes 4 burgers.
