Directions


Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

Step 3

Transfer onion and garlic to a large bowl and let cool slightly. Stir in the cilantro, 5-spice, cayenne, mustard, salt, pepper, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and egg. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Add the ground chicken and mix to combine. Add breadcrumbs and mix just until fully incorporated. Divide meat mixture into six even portions, and form into patties.

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the patties to the pan and cook until evenly browned, 3-4 minutes per side. Glaze both sides of each patty with 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce, and transfer the pan to the oven. Continue to cook until the patties are fully heated through, 8-10 minutes more.

Step 6

Meanwhile, prepare the broccoli rabe: in another large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and reduce heat to low. Cook for 1 minute, then add the broccoli rabe and continue to cook until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Step 7

Prepare lemon mayonnaise: in a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise, lemon zest, and lemon juice together until combined.

Step 8

To serve, spread mayonnaise onto each bun, then place a patty on top, followed by the broccoli rabe. Finish with the top bun, and serve immediately.
