Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil to grease the grill
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp 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. Serving size is one pattie
