Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 4 slices Pickles
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties to the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
About 2 minutes before the patties are done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to let the cheese melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce: separate the iceberg lettuce leaves carefully to keep them whole. Wash and dry them thoroughly.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin round slices.
To assemble the burgers, take two large lettuce leaves per burger to use as 'buns'.
Place one cooked patty with melted cheese on top of one lettuce leaf, followed by tomato slices, onion slices, a pickle slice, and a teaspoon each of mayonnaise and mustard.
Top with another lettuce leaf and gently press down. Repeat the assembly for the remaining patties.
Serve the low-carb chicken cheese burgers immediately and enjoy!
