Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground chicken
• 3 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
• 1 cup Iceberg lettuce
• 4 slices Low-sodium dill pickles
• 2 slices Low-sodium cheddar cheese slices
• 1 Egg
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Light mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Mustard
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Divide the chicken mixture into two equal parts and form each into a patty that matches the size of the burger buns.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown.

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, prepare the low-sodium Big Mac sauce by mixing light mayonnaise, low-sodium ketchup, mustard, white vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Slice the buns horizontally into three sections each (top, middle, and bottom bun). Lightly toast the buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

Step 6

To assemble, spread a tablespoon of the sauce onto the bottom bun, followed by a piece of lettuce, a slice of cheese, one chicken patty, and two pickle slices.

Step 7

Add the middle bun layer and repeat the layering process with another tablespoon of sauce, lettuce, the second chicken patty, and two pickle slices.

Step 8

Top off with the final bun layer. Decorate with sliced cherry tomatoes and additional lettuce leaves.

Step 9

Serve your Low Sodium Chicken Big Mac hot and enjoy your healthy creation!
