Step 1

In a food processor or high speed blender, add chicken and process until ground. Work in batches and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Return blender to its base, add egg, onion and garlic.

Step 3

Quickly soak bread in water, squeeze well and add to the blender along with salt and pepper. Process until well combined and add to the bowl with ground chicken meat. Using your hands, mix well.

Step 4

Preheat large ceramic non-stick skillet or grill on medium heat and swirl some oil to coat (spray the grill).

Step 5

Form into a ball size of a tennis ball for a burger or somewhere between golf and tennis size for "naked" patty, then flatten.

Step 6

Pan fry or grill for about 4-5 minutes per side (grills vary). It is time to flip when white edges appear and patty is brown on the bottom. Please note that second and third batches will take less time to cook as the skillet (grill) will be hotter.

Step 7

Serve hot assembled in a burger or with a side grain + salad.
