Chicken Chili Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 lbs chicken cutlets or 1 3/4-2 lbs ground chicken
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
3/4 cup prepared chili sauce
oil, for grill rack
8 slices part-skim sharp cheddar cheese
8 hamburger buns
1 large red onion, sliced
8 lettuce leaves

Preparation

If using chicken cutlets, rinse chicken and pat dry.
Cut into 2-inch pieces and pulse in a food processor until coarsely ground; transfer to a bowl.
If using ground chicken, break apart into bowl.
Now the recipe is the same for both the chicken cutlets and ground chicken.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
With hands, mix in bell pepper, cilantro and chili sauce until just combined; do not overmix.
Form into 8 one-half inch thick patties.
Preheat grill.
Lightly oil rack.
Grill burgers on rack over moderate heat 5 minutes.
Flip burgers and top each with 1 slice cheese; continue to grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
Meanwhile, grill buns, cut sides down, until golden brown, about 1 minute.
Arrange burgers in buns with onion and lettuce.
