Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded smoked chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Make sure the patties are compact to hold their shape while cooking.

    In a bowl, toss the diced carrots and parsnips with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 5

    Roast the Vegetables

    Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 6

    Cook the Patties

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
