Heat your grill and prepare a grilled chicken burger the whole family will love! If you love chicken as much as we do, you will also want to check out these gluten free chicken recipes.
If you have been following my blog for a while, you know we love Foster Farms Chicken and that I use it weekly when making family meals. Their air-chilled chicken is full of flavor.
If you aren't familiar with air chilling, it is a special process of cooling the chicken without using water. This means chicken doesn't absorb water, so you don't get diluted chicken juices.
Serve this burger with my crispy Gluten Free Beer Battered Fried Onion Rings!
Air chilling has many benefits, including better taste and texture, and it cooks much faster, making it perfect for those busy weeknights!
The secret of this recipe is garlic butter, lots of it. This allows the flavor to cook in the chicken while keeping it moist.
For this recipe, I don't use chicken sauce. I let the chicken sit with melted butter, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper for about 15 minutes, then continue to baste the chicken breasts in this mixture as it grills.
One of the stars of this recipe is the grilled peaches. I love to grill fruit and include it in recipes. Grilling caramelizes the natural sugars in the fruit, and the flavors combine beautifully in this grilled chicken recipe.
What you need to make this recipe:
- Thinly Sliced Chicken Breasts
- Butter - use vegan butter if you are dairy-free
- Garlic - freshly minced or jarred minced garlic are both fine to use.
- My homemade Gluten Free Hamburger Buns recipe!
Recipe step-by-step directions:
Step 1: Remove the chicken and place it on a plate. Add salt and pepper.
Step 2: Brush the chicken with melted butter and garlic. Allow the chicken to sit for 15 minutes. While you are waiting, preheat the grill. Add sliced peaches to your grill and grill for 3 minutes on each side.
Step 3: Add the chicken to the grill. Baste the chicken with more of the melted butter and garlic mixture.
Step 4: Grill the chicken for 5 minutes, then turn it over and grill it for another 5 minutes. Check the internal temperature. When your chicken is 165 degrees F, your chicken is done grilling.
Now, we are ready for the family to make their grilled chicken filet burgers! Grab a gluten free bun, grilled peaches, mayo, and lettuce, and make your burgers.
For bold flavor, try rubbing the chicken with this fantastic coffee rub for steak. If you love grilling as much as we do, this homemade salmon burger is tasty!
Serve this chicken filet burger as sliders with these Gluten Free Honey Rolls or as a burger with my fluffy Gluten Free Burger Buns. If you are grain-free, try these Keto Buns.
Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:

This looks amazing. I can't wait to make it. I have a citrus allergy also. Any suggestions on what to use to replace the lemon. I was thinking balsamic vinegar glaze but, I'm not sure. I would be using vegan butter too.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Leann, I would avoid the lemon. I think the garlic and butter will give it nice flavor without the lemon :-).
