Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken (lean, 93% lean or higher)
• 2 large Egg whites
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs (whole wheat or panko)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray
• 4 units Whole wheat burger buns
• 4 units Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato (sliced)
• 100 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt (for sauce, optional)
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (for sauce, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg whites, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using clean hands or a spatula until evenly combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 1 cm thick.

Step 4

Preheat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 5

Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, prepare the buns: slice them in half and toast lightly, if desired.

Step 7

Optional: To make a simple spicy yogurt sauce, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt with hot sauce in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and a slice or two of tomato on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the cooked chicken patty, a dollop of yogurt sauce (if using), and the top half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat spicy chicken burgers!
