Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 1 hr


• make the 'secret sauce' by whisking the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and the dijon mustard together in a small bowl; set aside.
• heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and about half the chopped apple in the hot oil until soft, 7 to 10 minutes. set aside.
• mix the remaining uncooked apple, the ground chicken, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, italian seasoning, egg, salt, and pepper together in bowl. shape the burger mixture into 6 balls; the mixture will be loose, but that is okay.
• heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. place one of the balls into the hot oil and flatten with the back of spoon to create a patty. cook until slightly brown on one side and then flip and cook the other side until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side; repeat for each portion.
• to assemble, place the chicken burgers on buns; top with the grilled apple and onions. pour some secret sauce over the top of each burger. more secret sauce can be served on the side if desired.
