Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams lean ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 as needed cooking spray
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns whole wheat burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato sliced tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to distribute the seasonings throughout the meat.
Divide the seasoned chicken mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty, ensuring they are evenly flattened to about 1/2-inch thickness for even cooking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
Place the chicken patties on the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat buns under a broiler or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise and 1/2 tablespoon of mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a tomato slice, a chicken patty topped with melted cheese, and then finally the top half of the bun.
Serve the burgers warm, and enjoy your low-fat chicken cheese burger!
