The Asian Chicken Burger Recipe

When I entertain I like to serve food that will blow my company away. My menu doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated, but it must be one thing: delicious.

Serving good food makes my guests happy, which makes me happy. But I give myself an extra pat on the back if I can also make my party food affordable and easy to prepare.

Delicious, easy to prepare and affordable are all things that make this  Asian Chicken Burger a life-changing meal. I made one last night to try out the recipe and I had a hard time finding just the right words to describe how amazing it was to my husband.

Did you read that? I made one burger. The recipe below serves four, but I was on my own for supper last night and it was so easy to make just a quarter recipe.

I’ve never made just one single burger before and it turns out that making a solo burger is easy if you have all fresh ingredients!

Now that I know how fast and delicious the Asian Chicken Burger recipe is, I’m ready to try all sorts of new burger ideas!

This homemade salmon burger looks amazing, and I’ve also made this caprese chicken burger. Yum!
