Basil Garlic Chicken Burger
I don't know about you, but I crave a burger on about a weekly basis. Now, if I ate a beef burger on a weekly basis I would have to get my big butt to the gym a whole lot more than I currently make it there. So instead of letting the beef burger get the best of me, I like to substitute with healthy ground chicken. A weekly chicken burger has curbed my burger cravings, kept my waist line at a reasonable circumference and (bonus) fulfilled the toddler-will-eat entree requirement for one night a week. I like to add basil, garlic and Worcestershire sauce to my chicken patties to give them a little zip. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped basil
- 2 tbsp finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 tsp Worshestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
In a medium sized bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the olive oil. Press the raw burger into 4 patties for large burgers and 8 patties for small burgers. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties in the skillet for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
