Chicken Chili Burgers

---

This is a recipe i got from ladies home journal. The original recipe calls for chicken cutlets, but i used ground chicken to make it easier. If using ground chicken, just omit the first two steps in the directions.

Steps

---

If using chicken cutlets , rinse chicken and pat dry.

---

Cut into 2-inch pieces and pulse in a food processor until coarsely ground.

---

Transfer to a bowl.

---

If using ground chicken , break apart into bowl.

---

Now the recipe is the same for both the chicken cutlets and ground chicken.

---

Season chicken with salt and pepper.

---

With hands , mix in bell pepper , cilantro and chili sauce until just combined.

---

Do not overmix.

---

Form into 8 one-half inch thick patties.

---

Preheat grill.

---

Lightly oil rack.

---

Grill burgers on rack over moderate heat 5 minutes.

---

Flip burgers and top each with 1 slice cheese.

---

Continue to grill until cooked through , about 5 minutes more.

---

Meanwhile , grill buns , cut sides down , until golden brown , about 1 minute.

---

Arrange burgers in buns with onion and lettuce.
