My husband Howard, son Ted and I all love chicken and we all love burgers. As a mum I’m always trying to get healthy ingredients into my son and yes even my husband occasionally too. I’m always trying new recipes as I also love to think of new meals for us to share.
When I thought of this recipe I felt the apple would sweeten the chicken burger and it did. The sweetness in certain meals is what my husband and son enjoy. They both have a sweet tooth. So by making the main meal sweeter with apple they both will eat their dinner without any complaint.
These burgers were sweet and juicy. They were very simple to make and so easy to cook. Once I had mixed all the basic ingredients together, all I had to do was put them into the oven. I served these with chips and salad. It was a delicious meal that we will be eating again. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Chicken and Apple Burger were well received in my house and all the plates were cleaned by the end of the meal. These burgers are quick and simple. However, if you wanted to make them in advance of a meal you could do so. All the ingredients are freezable as long as the chicken mince hasn’t already been frozen. Then all that needs to be done is, a day before you want to cook the burgers, remove them from the freezer and let them defrost. However you decide to eat these burgers, as always, enjoy.
