When you're trying to steer away from processed foods, especially for children, these burgers are a real winner. They're simple to make, with only a few basic ingredients.
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 350g minced chicken (boneless, skinless)

Method

- Alternatively, heat a non-stick frying pan over a, cook the burgers for about 4 minutes on each side and finish cooking in a 175°C oven for about 10 minutes.
- Once cooked, the burgers should have a golden brown finish and the juices must run clear.
