Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ras el hanout spice blend
  • 1 pinch saffron
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 whole hamburger buns
  • salted butter for the buns
  • roasted red pepper hummus as needed for topping, either store bought or homemade
  • baby spinach as needed for topping
Instructions
  1. Combine the ground chicken, cilantro, Dijon, Ras el hanout, saffron, dried onion, and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix it all together thoroughly with clean hands. Press it into a single, even layer, then score it in half both vertically and horizontally to make four equal quarter pound portions. Heat an electric griddle to 400 or a griddle pan over medium high heat. Form the four equal portions into patties and sear them for 5-6 minutes on each side to cook them completely.
  2. While they cook, toast the hamburger buns. Butter them once they're done and place a cooked chicken burger on each bottom. Top the patties with a heaping spoonful of the hummus and a small handful of baby spinach. Serve them immediately with your favorite side!
