1. Prepare the Burger Mixture 🥒🌽

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the burger ingredients: ground chicken, zucchini, corn kernels, red bell pepper, green onions, egg, panko breadcrumbs, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Mix until everything is well combined but avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

2. Form the Burgers 🍔

  1. Divide the mixture into equal portions, shaping them into burger patties. (Tip: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking!)

3. Cook the Burgers 🔥

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the patties and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

4. Make the Tomato-Cucumber Relish 🍅🥒

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, cilantro, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir well and let the flavors meld while the burgers finish cooking.

5. Serve and Enjoy 🍴

  1. Place the cooked chicken burgers on your favorite buns or lettuce wraps.
  2. Top with a generous spoonful of Tomato-Cucumber Relish.
  3. Add any extra toppings you like—think avocado, lettuce, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt!
