When I first started the SCD a few years ago, I lived on these chili lime chicken burgers. I actually used to just eat the patty with some fresh ketchup and mustard. My husband likes his burgers to be a little more substantial, so for dinner the other night, I made them like a real burger.
Juicy, messy, and with a bun.
I used my grain-free crusty dinner roll as the hamburger bun, which was so much better than wrapping the burger in lettuce or eating it alone. You can really put anything you'd like on it, but we piled ours high with fresh guacamole, lettuce, tomato, homemade mayonnaise, and pepper jack cheese.

Yum! I seem to have a never-ending list of different turkey and chicken burgers to try. This sounds right up our alley 🙂

Holy Cow!! These are AWESOME! Made them tonight and used an Udi’s bun. I will try your grain free dinner rolls when I have time to make them. GREAT recipe! Thanks!!

Made these for dinner last night and they were AMAZING! In rotation now as a new favorite dinner option! 🙂 We ended up just using lettuce as the “bun” and serving with homemade black beans on the side. I want them again tonight! 🙂

found your website through chowstalker, and made this for lunch today. my boy, 17, is super suspicious about what’s in his food, but i used roasted red peppers and caramelized onions as a condiment instead of adding red ones to the burgers, and he liked them. the lime juice really adds nice flavor, as does the cheese.
thanks!

I’m wondering if I can use all white chicken meat in this, or if I should use some thigh meat.

These look fabulous! Will be making very soon! Making the dinner rolls this weekend. Thank you for such a wonderful organized blog! A dream for a food allergy family!

I used this recipe as a guideline to create some turkey burgers tonight and they turned out great! I can’t stand cilantro, so I substituted parsley in its place. Your crusty dinner roles were incredible! I garnished my burgers with plain mashed avocado, tomatoes, a drop of mayo and some lettuce. Yumm-o! Thanks for another great recipe.

I am an avid backpacker and started eating Paleo last year because of an MS dx. I have struggled with coming up with decent Paleo backpacking meals besides jerky, avocados, sweet potato chips and Lara-like bars… I try to limit my nut intake – need lots of protein/carbs/fat on trail.
I used this recipe with grass-fed ground beef but broke it up into small pieces and dehydrated it. (Before Paleo, I frequently dehydrated my own fruit, jerky, marinara sauce…) Happy to say, I boiled some water on the trail and added it to the dehydrated beef in a Ziploc freezer bag and it tasted awesome.
My cohort, who was eating commercially processed backpack food full of sodium and preservatives was very jealous. 😉

Simply delicious! I just bought your book online a few days ago and had not tried a recipe from the blog yet. Now I am dying to receive it!!!
