- Form the Patties:
- Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
- Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during grilling.

- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
- Assemble the Burgers:

- Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
