How to Make Chicken Burgers With Fresh Fruit Salsa
- **Make the Salsa:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (or parsley), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
- Stir in 1 ripe peach, diced; 1 ripe pear, diced; and 1 tablespoon chopped red onion.
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to allow flavors to meld.
- **Prepare the Chicken:** In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 pound ground chicken, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or more, to taste).
- Gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the patties tough.
- Shape the mixture into four 3/4-inch thick patties.
- **Grill the Burgers:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken patties for 7-9 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
- **Serve:** Top the cooked chicken burgers with the chilled peach-pear salsa and serve immediately on your favorite buns. Enjoy!
