They are very quick and easy to put together with hardly any prep this makes them a perfect last minute meal. You can be creative with the herbs and change out or add more it is up to you.

Happy New Year to everybody, I haven’t posted anything for a couple of days as I was cooking up a storm at my mum’s for new years eve, followed by New Years day at the snow. It was a great time and the kids had so much fun especially my little niece who went crazy tobogganing, she is not used the the snow coming from Australia. Speaking of my niece, I am going to post the other recipe I made when she spent the night at mine last weekend, which was the chicken burger.Ingredients
800g Minced chicken
3 Bacon rashers, finely chopped
1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese
3 Green onions, finely chopped
1 large egg (or 2 medium eggs.)
1/2 Cup panko flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs available at most Asian grocery stores, if you can’t get them regular are fine.)
Focaccia bread (or burger buns, whatever your preference.)
Avocado Cream
1 Avocado, chopped
125g Cream Cheese
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Method
1. Combine chicken, bacon, cheese, green onion, egg and breadcrumbs well in a bowl. Shape into 4 patties.
2. Heat a small amount of oil in a pan, add patties and cook until browned on both sides and chicken is cooked all the way through.
Avocado Cream
1. Allow cream cheese to sit at room temperature for awhile, to allow it to soften more, so it is easier to mix.
2. Combine avocado, cheese and lemon juice in a bowl with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined.
To serve: Place burger on focaccia or bun and top with avocado cream. You can also top it with any other veg or condiments you like such as tomatoes, sprouts or lettuce.
