1 teaspoon salt
3 oz butter
6 tablespoons bread crumbs
10 tablespoons vegetable (sunflower) oil

Pass the chicken and the bread through a meat grinder. Alternatively, you can place the meat and bread into a food processor and pulse to chop finely.

Take one part of the meat mixture into your hands and shape it into a flat circle. Place a piece of the butter in the center then wrap it inside the meat overlapping the edges so that the butter is completely sealed in the center of the burger.

Pour the bread crumbs onto your working surface.
Spread even with a knife. Place the burger with the butter over the crumbs and roll it with a wide knife to ensure even breading on all sides.

Use the same knife to give the burger more of an oval shape.

Once you prepared and breaded all the burgers, they have to stay in the freezer for 20 minutes before cooking.

Pour the oil into a frying pan and heat on the stove.
![Image 30](https://data1.behind.ai/images/iJoKyyIiAbP29R9dhlma105cb/960/image.jpg)
Transfer the burgers into the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side.

Don’t cook them till they’re done; the only thing you need to do is to brown them nicely on both sides.
Transfer the burgers to a baking sheet.
Place into a preheated (400F) oven for 10 minutes.

Take out of the oven and serve.
