Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lb ground chicken
- 4 slices reduced-fat and reduced-sodium Virginia baked ham such as Thin ’n Trim, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground
- 4 each whole grain or whole wheat Hamburger buns
- 4 each Fresh romaine lettuce leaf
- ¼ cup bottled roasted red pepper drained and thinly sliced
- 4 slices about 3 oz. reduced-fat low sodium swiss cheese
- ¼ cup Reduced-fat mayonnaise optional
Instructions
- 1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, ham, mustard, and pepper. Mix until just blended. Form into 4 patties, about 4 inches across. Mixture will be sticky and may seem too wet, but it will firm up nicely as it cooks.
- 2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, spray with vegetable cooking spray. Add patties to the pan. Cook until nicely browned, about 6 minutes, then flip. Cook an additional 6 to 7 minutes, so that chicken is completely cooked through. Alternately, cook on a preheated grill.
- 3. While the patties cook, toast the hamburger buns.
- 4. To assemble, layer romaine leaves and red pepper pieces on the bottom half of each bun. Top with patties and a slice of cheese. If desired, spread underside of each bun top with 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise, then place on top of patties.
