ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1⁄2 cup onion, minced
- 1⁄2 cup celery, minced
- 1⁄2 cup bell pepper, minced
- 1⁄2 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash seasoning mix, Chicken Grilling Blend
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
- 2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs, Vigo Brand
- 4 slices tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
directions
- Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling uncooked chicken. Spray indoor grill with fat free cooking spray and let in run five minutes while you are prepping your burgers.
- Mince onions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic for about 20 seconds in food processor (DO NOT Puree). The mixture will seem a bit too moist and soggy, but that's OK. The moisture will keep your burger juicy, although you will lose some of it (along with excess fat) during cooking. Flatten ground chicken by hand on a cutting board, add seasoning, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and vegetable mix. Blend chicken mixture by hand until consistent. Form a ball, then flatten it out again and form into four tight patties.
- Season one side of patties with Mrs. Dash. Place all patties seasoned side down on indoor grill, then season the other side. Close your grill and cook about 8 minutes until firm and light brown with dark grill marks.
- When burgers are done, place a slice of fat free cheese on top of patties (if desired) and continue on the grill until cheese melts. My wife put her burger together with fat free Mayo. I tried a swizzle of fat free ranch dressing. Both were terrific!

Wow, these babies are good! And they're HUGE! I wasn't sure I was woman enough to finish a whole one LOL. I like the veggies in the recipe; I'm a person who likes to pile veggies onto my burgers and it was great to ahve them already in there. I think I will add more salt next time (we're not watching sodium). DH liked his with ketchup and pickles, and I went for a mustard/green chile/pickle mix (no, I'm not preggo :)). Also, I made these on the outdoor grill and had some concern about not having any "binders" in the recipe, but they did just fine! Thanks for posting; this is definitely a keeper! Made for PAC 2008.

I cook for fun and passion. I love to dazzle my wife (whom I met online in 1999) with new flavors and culinary surprises. I like simple recipes with limited steps and common ingredients which produce surpisingly delicious taste treats. I only post recipes I have written and cooked myself.
