CHICKEN BURGER

What is a chicken burger?

It is a preparation that uses ground or shredded chicken meat (breast, thigh, or a mix of both), to which other ingredients such as spices, herbs, breadcrumbs, or egg can be added to give it consistency. It is shaped into a disk (like a classic burger) and can be cooked on a griddle, grill, oven, or fried.

Nutritional properties (may vary depending on the preparation):

High in proteins (ideal for muscle recovery and satiety).
Lower fat content compared to red meat burgers.
Good source of B vitamins (such as niacin and B6).
Source of minerals like phosphorus and selenium.
Lower cholesterol content (if skinless chicken breast is used).
