• Preparation time: 00:06

Ingredients

• 200g chicken breast
• 30g of serrano ham
• Garlic powder
• Black pepper
• Thyme

Preparation

1. First, we will have to chop the chicken breast using a food processor or blender.

2. Cut the serrano ham into pieces as small as possible and square.

3. Later, we put together in a bowl the chopped chicken breast, the serrano ham, a pinch of salt and the spices. Although the spices will depend on the taste of each person, I recommend using the following:
   - A pinch of thyme.
   - A little black pepper.
   - A little garlic powder.

4. Once we have the mixture, we stir it well so that the spices are well mixed. Subsequently, we make 3 balls (for 3 hamburgers) with the mixture and crush them to make the hamburgers.

   A little trick is to grease our hands with a drop of olive oil so that the mixture does not stick. Also, I recommend adding a drop of olive oil to the burgers to improve their flavor.

   Once this is done, we throw them into the pan. We make them on both sides and eat!
