Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 pieces low sodium whole wheat buns
• 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese slices
• 1 large tomato
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 2

Divide the chicken mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until completely cooked through and golden brown.

Step 4

Place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet until cheese melts; then remove from heat.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into four thick slices and the avocado into thin slices. Sprinkle avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 6

Toast the whole wheat buns lightly if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a chicken patty with melted cheese, a tomato slice, avocado slices, and the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of low sodium side dishes such as fresh salad or baked sweet potato fries.
