If you're in the mood for a burger and onion rings, but are attempting to be at least semi-healthy with your diet, this is a good option. It's yummy and fulfills the "burger" craving, while still being a lot healthier than the traditional version.
Chicken Tequila Burgers
Source: annies-eats.blogspot.com
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (feel free to use more jalapenos if you prefer more heat)
2 chicken breasts
3-4 tablespoons cilantro
Zest of 1/2 lime
1 oz. tequila (we don't have any tequila in the house, so I omitted this)
Dash of soy sauce
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
For Serving:
Burger buns (I used whole wheat to keep with the healthy vibe)
Sauteed bell pepper and onion
Lettuce
Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with olive oil. Combine garlic, jalapeno, chicken, cilantro and lime zest in a food processor. Pulse several times until the chicken is uniformly ground. Mix in the tequila, soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste and panko. Pulse a few more times until the ingredients are well blended. Form the mixture into 4-5 patties and place on baking sheet. Broil the burgers for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking to brown both sides. Check for doneness before serving. Place on bun and add toppings to serve.
