How Do You Make Homemade Chicken Patties?
These healthy chicken burgers are as easy to make as a traditional hamburger. You start with ground chicken instead of beef, mix in some seasonings, and form them into patties using your hands. No extra binders required!
Paleo & Keto Chicken Burgers
Some recipes for chicken burgers will call for breadcrumbs or cheese to help with binding, but this recipe is grain-free and dairy-free to make it suitable for a variety of diets. My brother tends to follow a Keto diet, so this recipe is for him! (It’s also Paleo-friendly.)
If you follow food combining rules, you can enjoy this burger as a lettuce wrap with a side of roasted broccoli for a properly combined meal. (In the animal protein category.)
What Goes Well on a Chicken Burger?
Topping-wise, you can serve a chicken burger just like a regular burger. I love topping mine with dijon mustard and veggies like lettuce, sliced tomato, and red onion. You can also top it with special sauce, homemade ketchup, sliced avocado, or even BBQ sauce!
I like to add smoked paprika to this recipe to give the chicken burgers a “smoky” flavor, without having to actually grill them. (Though you can grill them if you want to!) I also add in some chopped onion because I like the added texture, however if you have picky family members I recommend replacing the chopped onions with onion powder instead. This alternative means less chopping for you, so it’s a win-win when you’re in a hurry. Like this recipe? You might also enjoy my Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls and my Chicken Vegetable Soup. (Both of which are properly combined.)

Recipe Notes:
You can use ground turkey instead of chicken if that’s easier for you to find. If you follow food combining rules, this recipe falls into the animal protein category and can be served on top of a salad or as a lettuce wrap. (This also makes it low-carb and keto friendly!)
