These delicious chicken smash burgers are a fun twist on the classic smash burger. I add lots of caramelized onions and cheddar to my version!

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Divide ground chicken into four even balls and season with salt, pepper, and garlic.
2. Heat a large griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it’s hot. Spray with nonstick spray.
3. Place burgers on griddle and press with something heavy and sturdy. A smaller cast iron skillet with foil on the bottom works well for this. Press each burger for 10 seconds.
4. Add sliced onions (optional) to the top of the burgers. Cook for 90 seconds.
5. Flip burgers and cook for another 2 minutes. Then add cheese. Place a bowl over the burgers with a little water to create steam.
6. When burgers are done, serve on toasted buns with mayonnaise, lettuce, and pickles.
