Ingredients

1.2 pound ground chicken meat
3 tablespoons chopped chives
1-2 garlic cloves minced
2/3 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons low-fat mayo
2 tablespoons no-sugar-added ketchup
1 tablespoons olive oil to grease the grill
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

To serve with:

lettuce for buns
sliced Roma tomato
Thinly sliced red onion
low-fat mayo
no-sugar-added ketchup

Instructions

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!

Notes

Substitutes:

Avocado oil or any other bland-tasting oil in place of olive oil
Use lean ground turkey instead of chicken
Use light shredded cheese, any cheese would work
Makes 6 burger patties. The serving size is one pattie

Storage:

Place leftovers in a container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat the burger patties in the microwave when ready to eat. You can freeze the patties for up to 3 months.
