Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ground chicken
- 3 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 1 cup Iceberg lettuce
- 4 slices Low-sodium dill pickles
- 2 slices Low-sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
In a bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the chicken mixture into two equal parts and form each into a patty that matches the size of the burger buns.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the low-sodium Big Mac sauce by mixing light mayonnaise, low-sodium ketchup, mustard, white vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Slice the buns horizontally into three sections each (top, middle, and bottom bun). Lightly toast the buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
To assemble, spread a tablespoon of the sauce onto the bottom bun, followed by a piece of lettuce, a slice of cheese, one chicken patty, and two pickle slices.
Add the middle bun layer and repeat the layering process with another tablespoon of sauce, lettuce, the second chicken patty, and two pickle slices.
Top off with the final bun layer. Decorate with sliced cherry tomatoes and additional lettuce leaves.
Serve your Low Sodium Chicken Big Mac hot and enjoy your healthy creation!
