Chicken Burger with Ginger Aioli Slaw

Adding an Asian flare to a burger is an easy way to add lots of light crisp flavours without lots of fat. A simple slaw like our Ginger Aoili one comes together in minutes, and is a fun way to get kids helping in the kitchen. To add an extra Asian flair, look for crusty rolls with sesame seeds. Make preparation even easier by purchasing pre-shredded slaws from your local supermarket.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb (0.5 kg) ground chicken
  • 2 cups (500 mL) pre-shredded slaw
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) mayonnaise

    • Instructions

    1. 1 Make the slaw by combining the pre-shredded slaw, mayonnaise, miso paste, vinegar, minced ginger and salt and pepper. Stir until combined and set aside.
    2. 2 For the burgers divide the meat into four equal portions. Season with salt and pepper and then shape into ½ inch thick and 4 or 5 inch wide patties.
    3. 3 Heat a non-stick skillet or a grill to high heat. Once preheated brush the surface with oil. Add the burgers to the grill and cook until browned on the outside and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side or until meat thermometer registers 165°F (74°C).
