“This worked exactly as written, thanks! What a GREAT SUMMER BURGER!” – Andrea

Why you’ll love pickle ground chicken burgers

I love using ground chicken. Like, some of my most used recipes in my own kitchen (and yours!) are made with ground chicken. I’m looking at you sweet potato chicken poppers.

Just grab a pound of ground chicken and you have so many possibilities. Bowls, nuggets, and of course, burgers!

I have always been a fan of chicken burgers, jazzing them up with different flavor combos like spinach avocado chicken burgers and sweet & sour chicken burgers. Now, these pickle ground chicken burgers are the latest chicken burger recipe I am loving! Here’s why you will too…

  • Burgers are always easy to make. Simply form the burgers, grill, and add toppings! Couldn’t be easier!
  • Pickle lovers will be obsessed. I LOVE pickles, like my pickle chicken salad, and it’s just so good in a burger too!! .

Pickle chicken burgers are the perfect low-effort summer grill meal! They’re made with simple ingredients and come together in a flash.

Recipe Ingredients

See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

All the ingredients to make pickle chicken burgers before cooking.
  • Ground Chicken.  If you can’t find ground chicken at the butcher counter, you can also use a food processor to grind your own at home. Or, you can just use ground turkey!
  • Dill Pickles and Pickle Juice.
  • Fresh Dill.
  • Coconut Flour. I find that I always need coconut flour as I use previously frozen chicken, and it has a lot more moisture! If you use a chicken that’s drier, you may not need as much coconut flour.
  • Salt and Pepper, Dried Parsley, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder.
  • Gluten-Free Buns.
  • Green Leaf Lettuce and Red Onions. I love these for topping the burgers!
  • Mayo and Whole Grain Mustard. These are my favorite spreads on these burgers, but you could switch it up if you prefer differently!

Step four. You can serve the burgers in a bowl with extra pickles on top, and on buns topped with mayo, mustard, lettuce, sliced onion, and extra pickles!

Michelle’s Tips & Tricks

  • Adjust the coconut flour. I use previously frozen chicken and it has a lot more moisture, so I need the coconut flour! If you use a chicken that’s more dry, you may not need as much coconut flour.
  • Adjust the toppings! I love this recipe in a bowl with toppings or on a delicious gluten-free bun with different toppings.
