Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces low sodium whole wheat buns
- 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese slices
- 1 large tomato
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the chicken mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until completely cooked through and golden brown.
Place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet until cheese melts; then remove from heat.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into four thick slices and the avocado into thin slices. Sprinkle avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Toast the whole wheat buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a chicken patty with melted cheese, a tomato slice, avocado slices, and the top bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of low sodium side dishes such as fresh salad or baked sweet potato fries.
