Thai Ginger Chicken Burgers - Weight Watchers PointsPlus - 9 points per serving

Ingredients

■4 scallions, white part only, thinly slice
■1 Tbsp chopped peeled fresh ginger (we use the ginger spice)
■1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch pieces
■½ cup plus 1/3 cup plain dried bread crumbs
■1/3 cup fat free egg substitute
■1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
■½ tsp grated lime zest
■½ tsp salt
■¼ tsp black pepper
■4 multigrain hamburger buns, toasted
■16 thin slices seedless cucumber
■4 thin slices red onion
■4 leaf lettuce leaves
1) With motor running; add scallions and ginger through feed tube of food processor and process until finely minced. Stop food processor and add chicken; pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to medium bowl; stir in ½ cup of the bread crumbs, the egg substitute, cilantro, lime zest, salt and pepper.

2) Place remaining 1/3 cup bread crumbs on sheet of wax paper. With damp hands, form chicken mixture into 4 (1 inch thick) patties. Dredge patties in bread crumbs, pressing gently to coat. Transfer patties to plate; cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

3) Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add patties; cover and cook, turning occasionally, until instant read thermometer inserted into side of burger registers 165 degrees. 13-15 minutes. Serve burgers in buns topped with cucumber, onion and lettuce.

***Note substitutions:

We used ground chicken vs. using chicken breasts and food processor.

We used ginger spice vs. fresh ginger.

We've used lime juice vs. lime zest (we've done both)

We cut up onion and mix in the burgers instead of topping.

We use wheat Panko bread crumbs (they keep the burgers a little more crisp)

We use the whole grain sandwich thins for buns.

Wow...that looks so delicious! I have that cookbook and even looked at the recipe and didn't think I would like it. Your burgers look better than the picture. I LOVE Tastefully Simple. My favorite thing that I have to buy all the time is Garlic Garlic. I use that in tons of recipes. I will have to get the bayou bourbon glaze.

[toocute2befat]

Definitely will :0)

Burgers look yummy! I like that you are cooking a healthy dinner and Andrew is working out in the other room. Way to stay on track together!

@KathsWeightLoss Thanks ! They are delicious!! We've cooked with ground chicken many times....tacos, quesadillas, spaghetti.....much healthier than ground beef. You can serve just about anything you want with them, veggies, fries, salad, etc.
