Ya gotta eat…Although it seems contrary to a fit and healthful lifestyle, I’m a hamburger addict! I try to eat well most of the time, but there’s nothing like the feeling I get from the first bite of a juicy cheeseburger! I do succumb to the greasy spoon variety on occasion, but in between, I treat myself to a burger that’s both wholesome and scrumptious. To make the best of this recipe, get the ground chicken from your butcher and ask if it’s all white meat or a blend of white and dark. Ground chicken breast only is available at places like Whole Foods and other specialty meat groceries. You can also vary the horseradish and mustard in the recipe according to your level of tolerance for the flavors. By substituting oatmeal for bread crumbs in the burger, you add fiber to your meal, and using egg whites instead of whole eggs keeps the burger juicy without adding too much cholesterol.
The following recipe makes 4 burgers:
Chicken Burgers1 lb ground chicken breast
1 pkg Knorrs Dry Vegetable Soup Mix
2 egg whites
2 T Horseradish
1-2 t Spicy Whole Grain Mustard
1/3 cup Oatmeal
1-2 tsp water
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Mix together all ingredients. Shape into 4 burgers. Grill on Forman grill according to directions or grill on outdoor grill 4-6 minutes per side, being careful not to dry out meat.
Serve on whole wheat buns or wraps
