Chicken Burgers with Apple and Cheddar
These can also be prepared on an outdoor grill.
1 lb. ground chicken
Few splashes of hot sauce
1 ½ t. lemon juice
½ t. garlic powder
¼ t. salt
¼ t. pepper
4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
4 sandwich rolls
1 Granny Smith apple, cored
Heat non-stick grill pan over medium heat.
In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken with hot sauce, 1 t. lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 patties. Place each patty on the grill pan and let cook undisturbed for about 5-6 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the burger and cook an additional 5-6 minutes until just cooked through. Add a cheese slice to each burger and cook for an additional 30 seconds until melted. Meanwhile lightly toast rolls. Slice apple and toss with remaining ½ t. lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Once burgers are cooked through and cheese is melted, place onto rolls and top with apple slices.
Serves 4.
