Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 3 Gluten-free burger buns
- 6 Lettuce leaves
- 3 American cheese slices
- 12 Pickle slices
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free Thousand Island dressing
- 1 tablespoon White sesame seeds
- 3 Gluten-free toasted sandwich pickles
Instructions
In a bowl, combine ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Divide mixture into six equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook each chicken patty for about 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the gluten-free buns by slicing them in half. Toast them lightly, if desired.
Once the patties are cooked, place one cheese slice on each of three patties while still on the grill, allowing it to melt slightly.
To assemble: Spread a layer of gluten-free Thousand Island dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, then a plain chicken patty, followed by the patty with cheese.
Add another bun half, more sauce, 2 more pickle slices, and another lettuce leaf on top of the cheese patty.
Place the top bun section on each sandwich to complete the Big Mac-style stack.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top bun for an authentic look.
Secure each sandwich with a toothpick or sandwich pickle spear if desired.
