Chicken Hamburger

Friday nights are usually “take-out” nights. But not necessarily by buying junk food, by making it at home. For some reason, junk food made at home is much tastier, and much more filling than the junk food you buy.

There is no recipe for making a hamburger, though. Personally, I don’t like tomato sauce or hot-dog mustard sauce, so I try my best to avoid it all times. I prefer mayonnaise, chutney and decent mustard like Dijon or Hot English Mustard.

In making a chicken hamburger, tomato sauce and hot-dog mustards are very much off limits. Dead zone. Don’t even take it out of the cupboard. You use a white sauce, made with mayonnaise, smooth cottage cheese and a little Dijon mustard.

You also need to have lettuce, tomatoes, onion, buns (obviously, we like the hard crusted ones for burgers) and chicken patties. I prefer to buy the chicken fillets, not the chicken patties. I find it tastier and more… authentic. O, and cheese. Always, cheese.

Lucky for me, this is my blog with all my opinions, feel free to disagree and make your hamburger your OWN!!

Ingredients:

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Onion

Buns

Chicken Fillets or Patties

Mayonnaise

Smooth Cottage Cheese

Dijon Mustard

Cheddar cheese, grated

Method:

Spread the buns with margarine/butter. 

 Mix 2tbs mayonnaise, 1tbs smooth cottage cheese and ½t Dijon mustard. (Make more depending on how many burgers, and feel free to tweak the proportions to your taste!) Spread one half of the bread generously with the sauce. Add tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. 

Add the onion and the lettuce. Fry the patties in oil or bake in the oven, as per package instructions. Add to the bun. Add cheese to your liking.

Serve with onion rings.

And enjoy!!!

Yours in oil and veggies
