Ingredients
- 450 grams lean ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 as needed cooking spray
- 4 slices low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns whole wheat burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato sliced tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to distribute the seasonings throughout the meat.
Step 2
Divide the seasoned chicken mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty, ensuring they are evenly flattened to about 1/2-inch thickness for even cooking.
Step 3
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 4
Place the chicken patties on the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each patty, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the cheese to melt.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat buns under a broiler or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
Step 7
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise and 1/2 tablespoon of mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a tomato slice, a chicken patty topped with melted cheese, and then finally the top half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve the burgers warm, and enjoy your low-fat chicken cheese burger!
