Take Out Fake Out: Chicken Burger

So Rob had a hankering for burger the other night and I had already defrosted some chicken breasts for dinner. I decided this was a perfect opportunity for experimentation. I consider it a supreme success.

Chicken Burger and Fries a la Grill



Prep: 15 mins

Cook: 30 mins
Serves: 2 (4 burgers and 2 sides of potatoes)

Ingredients:

2 Big chicken breasts

2 large potatoes (or 4 smaller ones)

Chili Powder to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil

Light Mayo

Lettuce

Chicken:

Take both chicken breasts and cut them so that both sides will have roughly the same amount of weight (note: this does not mean you're cutting it in half). Place chicken pieces between parchment paper and pound until spread. Add 1 Tablespoon of oil and salt and pepper into a bowl, add chicken and mix. Grill roughly 10-15 mins per side (or until done) at 450* on the top rack. Place on bun with mayo and lettuce.

"Fries":

Cut potatoes into wedges (tip: cut into thick medallions then cut each medallion into 3 or 4 strips) add 1 tablespoon of oil, salt and pepper to taste and a palm full of chili powder into a bowl and mix. Add potatoes and stir until coated. Place potatoes onto aluminum foil and wrap into a package. Cook for roughly 30mins at 450*.

This meal is totally satisfying when you're craving a junkie chicken burger and far FAR better for you.
