BBQ Chicken Burger Recipe

American · Main course · 27 min total

Juicy grilled chicken breast slathered in smoky barbecue sauce, topped with crispy bacon and tangy coleslaw, all nestled in a soft brioche bun. This homemade BBQ chicken burger is a summer favorite that's easy to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for brushing
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 brioche burger buns, split and toasted
• 1 cup prepared coleslaw
• 4 lettuce leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place chicken breasts in a dish and coat with the mixture. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
3. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F, brushing with additional barbecue sauce during the last 2 minutes of grilling. In the last minute, top each breast with a slice of cheddar cheese and cover grill to melt.
4. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
5. Assemble burgers: place a lettuce leaf on each bottom bun, top with grilled chicken, 2 halves of bacon, and a generous spoonful of coleslaw. Cover with top bun. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For best flavor, use a smoky barbecue sauce.
• If you don't have a grill, cook chicken in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
• To make your own coleslaw, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
