Chicken and Mango Burgers - Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

These Chicken and Mango Burgers are just the ticket for barbecue season! We’ve piled our spice-infused chicken burgers high with a homemade, punchy mango chilli salsa, mildly-fiery Sriracha mayo and a helping of crunchy fresh salad.

By preparing your salsa and burger patties from scratch, you can keep the calories down and control the spice level – be warned, our salsa is definitely on the hotter side! 

To cool things down a bit, go easy on the amount of red chilli you add to your salsa bowl. After playing around with this recipe, we found that half of a deseeded red chilli is the perfect, taste bud tingling amount for us. 

It’s hard to believe they come bursting with so much flavour for only 246 calories each, bun included! Pair your zesty burgers with Coleslaw and Sweet Potato Fries for a restaurant-style feast at home.

Could you use chicken thighs instead of breast?

Would you be able to use chicken mince instead of chicken breast?

Reply

    SharonFriday 14th July 2023

    Hi Kelly, we haven’t tried making Chicken and Mango Burgers with minced chicken but it should be fine. You may need to add a little beaten egg to the burger mixture if it doesn’t hold together well. The cooked burgers will have a coarser texture than if you used the chicken breasts. Hope this helps!
