- 1.2 lb ground chicken meat
- 3 tbsp chopped chives
- 1-2 garlic cloves minced
- 2/3 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Tbsp low-fat mayo
- 2 Tbsp no-sugar-added ketchup

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chives, garlic, cheese, mayo, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Next, divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into balls. Flatten the balls into 1/2-inch-thick patties.
If using an outdoor grill or a grill pan, brush the grill grates with some oil and preheat for 5 minutes.
Place the burgers onto the preheated grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until charred and cooked through.
Serve the patties in lettuce buns with any toppings you desire!
