Maple Poppy Chicken Burgers
Maple Poppy Chicken Burgers
I’ve finally hit a rut in my FAILSAFE Diet journey. I’m beginning to feel like everything looks and tastes the same. Seriously, go check out my Instagram feed. Everything is a variation on brown — tan, white, light brown, dark brown — with a pop of green here and there. I know it’s only natural to feel this way with such a limited selection of safe foods and minimal ways to “spice” it up.
So I’ve been itching to branch out and find some new flavor combinations. My go-to’s always seems to be garlic and leek. And for good reason — it’s delicious on just about everything. Case and point: chicken and leek burgers, chicken and leek pasta, and garlic and leek focaccia bread.
After four solid months of garlic and leek, I wanted and NEEDED something a little different. But what?! There are only so many safe options and it feels like I’ve exhausted them all.
Turns out I hadn’t, because maple syrup and poppy seeds go together beautifully. (With all of the hullabaloo around lemon and poppy seed, who would think to try anything else?!) The maple syrup adds a lovely depth to the burgers and the poppy seeds add a really wonderful texture to it all.
Feel free to serve it with a bun and call it a burger or serve it naked and call them breakfast patties.
Either way, they are delicious.
One note of caution: they do brown easily because of the maple syrup, so make sure to cook them on a lower temperature and turn them a bit more frequently than you would otherwise if you’re super sensitive to amines from browned meat.

Description

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and mix with your hands until everything is incorporated fully. It may look like there’s too much syrup, but I promise it gets folded in. Form into patties (I made 5, but feel free to make your burgers whatever size you like!)
-
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Add in chicken patties and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, being careful not to let them brown too much. When burgers reach internal temperature of 160°F/75°C they are done.
-
Serve naked or with a (safe) bun.
