Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and/or parchment paper.
Place the ground chicken in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Using a large spoon, mix together until well-combined. Coat your hands with olive oil to prevent sticking and shape the mixture into eight (¼-pound) patties, forming each of them to be ½-inch thick.
Arrange Chicken Burgers on prepared baking sheet. Cook for 10 minutes and then flip and insert an instant-read thermometer in the center of the largest/thickest patty. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
If desired, lay a slice of cheese on top of each patty for the last couple minutes of cooking time. Serve on buns with any of your favorite burger toppings.

Notes
You can use a kitchen scale to ensure that your Chicken Burgers are close in size. But I think it’s easier to smooth the ground chicken mixture into the bowl and use a butter knife to slice it into quarters and then eighths (like a pizza). Then simply scoop out each “slice” and form it into a patty with oil-coated hands.
You can make bigger burgers by dividing your ground chicken mixture into six ⅓-pound burgers. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, which will probably take a little longer.
You can cut this recipe in half to make four ¼-pound burgers or three ⅓-pound burgers.
Leftover Chicken Burgers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Gently reheat until warmed through in the microwave, a toaster oven, or a skillet.
