I tried Martha Stewart's green-chile chicken burgers. The recipe only called for 6 ingredients but was anything but simple to make.

I made Martha Stewart's six-ingredient recipe for green-chile chicken burgers.
The chicken patties fell apart as I grilled them, and the recipe called for unconventional toppings.

I won't argue with anyone who says Martha Stewart is the queen of all things cooking and homemaking.

Having interviewed her a few times and followed many of her recipes for years, I've always found the lifestyle mogul, and focus of the upcoming Netflix documentary "Martha," to be a delight.

Plus, her meals are almost always a hit for weeknight dinners in my house. Most recently, I tried her recipe for six-ingredient green-chile chicken burgers.

I figured the simple burger recipe, which called for ground chicken, cilantro, and diced green chiles, looked easy enough. However, I wasn't prepared for just how difficult the process would be. Here's how it went.

I started by gathering the ingredients for the green-chile chicken burgers.

The ingredients included ground chicken, green chiles, cumin, salt, and pepper.Terri Peters

I prepared the burgers exactly as instructed.

After about an hour, I removed the burger patties from the refrigerator.

Grilling these chicken burgers was not an easy task.

The instructions for grilling the tomato slices and buns seemed a bit off.

I think some of the burger toppings, like the tomato slices, needed more time on the grill.Terri Peters

The burgers looked beautiful, and one condiment was surprisingly good.

If I made these burgers again, I’d do a lot of things differently.

My family didn't love these burgers, though they looked beautiful.Terri Peters

I tried Ina Garten's recipe for New York strip steaks. The tender, juicy cuts of meat were some of the best I've ever had.
