Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 4 slices Pickles
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each part into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties to the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 4
About 2 minutes before the patties are done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to let the cheese melt.
Step 5
While the patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce: separate the iceberg lettuce leaves carefully to keep them whole. Wash and dry them thoroughly.
Step 6
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin round slices.
Step 7
To assemble the burgers, take two large lettuce leaves per burger to use as 'buns'.
Step 8
Place one cooked patty with melted cheese on top of one lettuce leaf, followed by tomato slices, onion slices, a pickle slice, and a teaspoon each of mayonnaise and mustard.
Step 9
Top with another lettuce leaf and gently press down. Repeat the assembly for the remaining patties.
Step 10
Serve the low-carb chicken cheese burgers immediately and enjoy!
