Bunless Low-Carb Mexican Chicken Burgers

“These are the best burgers ever,” said my 10-year-old last night. These are yummy and quick enough to satisfy anyone’s takeaway craving.

When you decide to live wheat free and no longer have burger buns, you can actually taste the meat and fillings. The subtle flavours and spices are no longer lost in the starchy bread.

Without the bread bun, it means these low-carb Mexican chicken burgers are light and healthy, not leaving you full and bloated afterwards. Throw as much chilli in as you can handle. If your children don’t like them spicy, make them mild then spice yours up with tabasco sauce. Make them fiery for those who like it hot.

I served our low-carb Mexican Chicken Burgers on a large slice of capsicum, then begin to layer a low-carb Mexican Chicken Burger, a slice of tomato, avocado salsa, ending finally with cream cheese. You can place another slice of capsicum on top, or serve as it is with a side salad.

I put some small dishes on the table with sliced capsicum, tomatoes, cream cheese and avocado salsa (scroll to the bottom for the video showing you how to make it) so everyone could pile their salads with extras. Drizzle the salad with chilli infused olive oil.

    I do like chicken burgers but this recipe did not meet our flavor expectations. I’ll make these again but add more seasonings than called for. I guess we are used to having Cajun seasonings on our food. The burger was tender and juicy. I forgot the egg but it didn’t need it as the patty binded well without it. Thanks for the recipe.

    I wish I could give these higher than 5 stars that were THAT good!!! I have never cooked w ground chicken before and thought they might be dry. I made both a chicken version (the exact recipe) and a beef version (subing 80/20 ground beef for the chicken) just to see what the difference would be. They are so much better w chicken but the beef were ok too. I mixed up the meat in the morning to let the flavors blend more. I will be adding these (in chicken) to my weekly menu for sure!!! Thanks Libby. Keep the awesomeness coming.

    Different?

      This is the link to the chilli that can be used. Most recipes have links to Amazon in the recipe ingredients itself, or below with their images. The cream cheese is served on top of the burger to add taste, flavour and healthy fats,

    Do you use dark meat ground chicken or ground chicken breast? These look delicious.

      I can only find ground chicken breast here, I would prefer the dark meat ground chicken as it is slightly more nutritious on some aspects and more tasty (in my opinion).

    Do you use cooked chicken or raw? It looks like you already have it cooked.

      I use raw ground/minced chicken and it is cooked once formed into a hamburger patty thoroughly in the frying pan.

    This is a brilliant recipe, it is so incredibly fresh and light but also so satisfying. I must admit when I was making the burgers I didn’t expect the flavours in the burger and the toppings to work so amazingly well together. I never would have thought to add the cream cheese, but it all tastes so good!

    You could try using portobello mushrooms as bun replacements. I fry them in butter top and bottom for my mince burgers

      Go on, try it just once without the burger bun. You will be amazed at how lighter you feel. Or use giant mushrooms or lettuce as the burger ‘bun’. Thanks for stopping by.
