Rosemary, sage and thyme are frequent star
herbs for a classic roast chicken or turkey. These herbs are the more
woody or hearty of the herb family, and can hold up to a good heavy
cooking. Unlike the tender herbs of parsley, cilantro, mint and basil,
among others, the woody herbs are able to withstand lots of cooking and
still retain their beautiful flavor.
While rosemary is most notably paired with baked and roasted chicken, I had the idea to use it in a more modern adaptation. I combined rosemary with lemon and a wee bit of garlic, salt and pepper to flavor chicken burgers. The flavors worked as deliciously in a burger as in a whole roast bird.
Even better, these burgers can be cooked in about 10-15 minutes, instead of needing hours in a hot oven (something I try to avoid in my kitchen in the summertime!).
1 pound ground chicken
zest of one lemon
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped fine, plus extra for garnish
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
brown mustard (optional)
In a large bowl, place the ground chicken and top with the remaining ingredients. Mix very well with your hands, taking special care to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated into the mixture.
Shape into 8 small patties.
In a hot skillet or on a hot grill, add some oil (take care if using a grill). Add the patties and cook over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes per side.
Serve two burgers over a bed or rice or pasta, topping with a touch of mustard and a small sprig of rosemary, if desired.
(You can also do these burgers in a more traditional size and serve on buns, or however you please!)
Serves 4.

Yum! I see meatballs with this recipe in my future... my children seem to respond to spherical shapes the best :)
Ohhh...meatballs, what a great idea!
My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
