Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Gluten-free burger buns
• 4 Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Mustard
• 12 Pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gluten-free bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and egg. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken patties to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, covering the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the gluten-free burger buns in a toaster or on another skillet until they are warm and slightly crispy.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a combination of mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Step 8

Layer each with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the cooked chicken cheddar patty, and pickles.

Step 9

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
