Print Recipe
Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • CHICKEN
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs about 4
  • 1 tablespoon chives or green onions
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne peper
  • S&P
  • SAUCE
  • 1/2 cup plain non fat greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 4 pieces of naan bread or pitas
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken thighs into chunks. Combine chicken, chives, ginger, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and S&P to taste. Mix together and let marinate for 30 minuets.
  • Slice cucumber in thin strips. Mix the cumin and yogurt to make a sauce, place in the fridge.
  • Once the chicken is marinated (no less than 10 minutes), use a food processor or chopper to grind the chicken until there are no large chunks. Form mixture into 16 mini patties or 8 regular sized ones. The minis will be about 3/4" thick and about 2.5" wide.
  • Grill these until opaque and the chicken is cooked through, about 3-5 minuets each side. The larger patties will need to cook longer on each side.
  • Toast the naan bread on the grill right before the burgers are done.
  • Serve 4 mini patties or 2 larger ones on the toasted naan bread. Layer with cucumber, cumin yogurt sauce and fresh cilantro.
