    (*This post was sponsored by CK Mondavi and Family. All delicious opinions and pairing ideas are my own.)

    I am excited to bring you another delicious pairing with the wines from CK Mondavi and Family!! CK Mondavi makes delicious wines and I am excited to tell you about their limited-quantity, seasonal series. If you love a sweeter wine, wait until you try their Sunset Sweet Red Blend and their Moscato.

    Why this recipe is great:

    These gluten free ground chicken burgers are moist, delicious, and so easy to make. You can top them with anything from lettuce and tomato to the fancy caramelized onions and hatch chiles I use.

    This way everyone in the family gets a burger the way they like it!

    Ingredient notes:

    ground chicken burgers ingredients
    • Ground chicken - I love ground chicken because it is low-fat. You can also use ground turkey or higher fat meats like ground beef or pork.
    • Gluten free panko - Gluten free bread crumbs also work well and they are easy to make.
    • Onion - I prefer to use yellow onions or sweet Hawaiian onions.

    Are you ready to grill some burgers?

    Recipe step by step instructions:

    sliced onions caramelizing in a pan

    Step 1: Slice your onions thinly. Heat a pan on the stove on medium heat. Add avocado oil and onions. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes, occasionally stirring until the onions turn golden brown and are caramelized and sweet.

    (*Note that onions shrink as they caramelize so you need to use more onion than you may think.

    Step 2: Add the roasted hatch chiles and simmer 5 minutes. (*Because hatch chiles can be very spicy, I dice mine into small pieces.)

    Step 3: In a bowl, add your ground chicken, an egg, panko, and spices. Mix well. Preheat your grill to 375º F.

    Step 4: Shape the burgers into patties.

    Step 5: Place on the grill and cook until the burgers have an internal temperature of 165º F. Remove from the heat and top with the caramelized onions and hatch green chiles.

    Tips and Recipe FAQ:

    Is panko gluten free?

    Unfortunately, panko is not gluten free. The good news is there are a few companies that make gluten free panko like Ians and Schar. You can also make your own homemade gluten free bread crumbs and panko!

    Best ways to cook burgers?

    We are huge burger fanatics! We typically grill our burgers on the grill, it means a lot less clean up! You can also cook burgers by baking them in the oven or cooking them stovetop. You can even get a small kitchen grill to cook your burgers.

    How do you keep chicken burgers moist?

    I keep chicken burgers moist by adding egg and bread crumbs. This helps hold moisture in the burger better.

    Can you make this burger recipe not spicy?

    It is easy to turn down the heat on these ground chicken burgers by using mild roasted green chiles instead of roasted hatch green chiles.

    Side dishes:

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 pound ground chicken * see note
    • ¼ cup gluten free bread crumbs * see note
    • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
    • 1 egg
    • 1 garlic clove minced
    • 2 teaspoons chives
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 onion sliced
    • 2 tablespoons fire-roasted hatch chiles or green chiles
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

    Instructions
     

    • Add avocado oil to a skillet and heat on medium heat.
    • Put the sliced onion in the skillet and turn heat down to medium-low. Cook the onion for 10-15 minutes on low heat until the onions brown and caramelize.
    • Add the hatch chiles and cook 3 more minutes.

    Notes

    1. If you don't have ground chicken, you can substitute ground turkey, beef, or pork.
    2. Hatch chiles can be spicy so make sure to go lightly if you don't want a lot of spice.
    Many ask if panko and bread crumbs are gluten free?
    Unfortunately, panko is not gluten free. The good news is there are a few companies that make gluten free panko like Ians and Schar. You can also make your own homemade gluten free bread crumbs and panko!
