Meal prep on Sundays is a routine for us that ensures we aren’t eating out for lunch and can stick to our paleo eating plan. Homemade chicken burgers are one of our favorite meal prep options and these paleo rosemary lemon chicken patties are in our rotation all the time.ย

When we are doing Whole30, these paleo chicken burgers are one of my favorite things to make. We also LOVE them served as regular style burgers with buns and all the fixing.

- Ground Chicken
- paleo sour cream – This helps keep them moist and provides a little extra flavor. Homemade paleo sour cream is super easy to make but, if you don’t need the paleo version, feel free to substitute with regular sour cream.

Can you make paleo rosemary lemon chicken burgers ahead of time?
Absolutely! I use these for meal prep and cook a batch on Sundays to enjoy for lunches all week. You could also form them into patties and freeze, uncooked, for 2-3 months. Just thaw and cook as needed.
