What You Need
- 3 cups raw ground chicken
- 2 slightly beaten eggs
- 1 small finely chopped onion
- 2 Tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 2 Tablespoons fresh minced parsley
- 1 Tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda

How to Make It
Slightly beat the eggs and then set aside until needed.
Using a large mixing bowl you will add the raw ground chicken, slightly beaten eggs, finely chopped onion, dry bread crumbs, fresh minced parsley, grated parmesan cheese, salt, baking soda, white pepper, and oregano. Combine to mix well and then divide evenly and shape the chicken mixture into 4 burger patties.
Heat the butter or margarine and the oil in a large skillet over a medium low heat setting until the butter or margarine melts into the oil and then add the chicken patties to the hot oil. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on one side and then turn patties to cook for about 4 to 5 more minutes.
Place a slice of cheddar or American cheese on top of each chicken patty. Cover the skillet with a lid and then cook for about 1 minute or until the cheese melts. Remove from heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise onto each bun and then add a leaf of lettuce and 1 or 2 slices of tomatoes. Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot.
