A delightful twist on classic chicken burgers with a Southwestern flair.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped green onions, grated zucchini, grated carrot, chili powder, salt, cumin, and black pepper.
Ensure the vegetables are finely grated to blend well with the chicken.
Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties, handling the mixture gently to avoid compacting it.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties to achieve a good sear.
Cook the patties in the skillet for about 6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Serve the patties warm, optionally with your favorite toppings and sides.
Consider serving with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor.
