These delicious, spicy, and healthy burgers are surprisingly quick and easy to make. Despite the lean ground chicken, the patties are tender and juicy, thanks to the addition of yogurt and fried onions. A blend of cinnamon, coriander, garlic, and red pepper gives the patties a delightful oriental flavor, perfectly complemented by the sweet and spicy pomegranate molasses spread on the finished patties. Assemble your burger with fresh vegetables on a whole-grain bun and enjoy!

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cinnamon, coriander, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and parsley and cook until fragrant, another 1 minute.
- Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Add the ground chicken and yogurt to the onions and mix until evenly distributed. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of coarse salt and a little pepper. Form into 4 patties, 1 cm thick.
- Cook the patties in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of the patties registers 165°F to 175°F.
- Brush the patties with pomegranate molasses and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Serve on toasted buns with vegetables.
Note *
Pomegranate molasses is a sweet and sour sauce made from pomegranate juice. It can be found in Middle Eastern grocery stores.
