Chicken Burgers

Patrick and I came up with this recipe. Actually, it was mostly Patrick. He liked some chicken burgers I made a while back because they were juicy and not dry like most chicken burgers. We really want to eat healthier, but it always seems like there isn't enough time or energy to make it taste like we want it to. I think we got this one right, though. We ate them on Publix french hamburger rolls...mmmmm. I used Swiss cheese on mine and it was delicious!

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup grated apple (no skin)
1 T. dry minced onion, reconstituted
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp.garlic salt
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp oregano
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

A note about the ingredients...well, actually there aren't many notes at all. It is what it is. We used white meat chicken, red delicious apple, 1% milk and plain bread crumbs. It probably would have been even more awesome with some sourdough bread crumbs made from scratch, but oh well.

1. Add everything together in a bowls and mix lightly. The more you mix, the less tender the burgers are.
2. Using the Rachel Ray method of measuring, pat the mixture flat in the bottom of the bowl. Draw a + in the mixture to section it into 4 parts. Each part is one patty. Very smart.
3. Spray a skillet with Pam and heat to almost smoking. Add the patties and cook about 15 minutes, turning once. Test them with a thermometer to make sure the inside is completely done. It IS chicken, after all.
Eat them....enjoy!
