    I haven't eaten a burger for years. I rarely eat beef and I strive to keep my meals gluten-free, so a patty inside a bun is not something I crave. However, it dawned on me that an open-face burger made with ground chicken would make a great casual meal.

    I found this recipe for Thai Chicken Burgers by Gwyneth Paltrow on Shape.com and adapted it only slightly. It's intensely flavourful, packed with protein and very easy to put together.

    Ingredients for Healthy Open Face Thai Chicken Burgers.

    Instead of chopping the ingredients separately as the original recipe instructed, I put everything (except the ground chicken) in my mini food processor and processed it until it was uniformly chopped. Then all I had to do was stir it into the chicken, form it into patties and grill.

    I was very doubtful that these patties would hold together, as the recipe has no eggs and no binder like bread crumbs or oats. But they did!

    These Thai Chicken Burgers were quick and easy to prepare and they made a healthy gluten-free meal.

    I topped the chicken burgers with a little Vegenaise (vegan mayonnaise) and some snipped chives and served them with a garden salad, grilled mushrooms, and Smoky Sweet Potato Wedges (because every good burger needs fries, right?)  

    We liked them so much, that I've made several batches since to freeze for busy days. I hope you get a chance to make these Thai chicken burgers soon.

      These actually stick together!

      Cook extra and freeze them. I take one out of the freezer in the morning and put it on top of my salad I pack for lunch. It's thawed by the time I eat it. Such a convenient way to add protein.
