My husband and I are trying to add more variety to our diets, and cut back on red meat, so I came up with this ground chicken burger, and it is delish. I used my George Foreman grill to cook them. They make a nice substitution for a regular cheeseburger and French fries. Ingredients:
1 pound ground chicken |
1/2 small onion, diced |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/2 (1 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix |
1 egg |
salt and pepper, to taste |
4 wheat hamburger buns, toasted |
4 slices pepperjack cheese |
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced |
1/4 cup chopped jalapeno pepper |
1/2 cup salsa, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
2. Mix the ground chicken, onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and egg together in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide chicken mixture evenly and form into 4 soft patties.
3. Cook the chicken patties on the preheated grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on thickness. To serve, place each patty on one half of a hamburger bun, top with a slice of cheese, avocado slices, and desired amounts of jalapeno peppers and salsa. Cover with remaining half of bun.
