Ingredients

4 servings

For the patties

6 strips bacon
Chef's tip
Cook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed.
1 ½ lb ground chicken
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

For topping

4 slices cheddar cheese

For serving

4 burger buns, split
Chef's tip
Whole-grain buns are denser, so the texture will be heartier.
mayonnaise, to taste (optional)
lettuce leaves (optional)
sliced tomato (optional)

Instructions

1
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool, then crumble into small pieces. Pour off all but 1 tbsp of the bacon fat from the skillet and set the skillet aside.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheddar, scallions, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture.
