Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp light mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 3⁄4 tsp onion powder, divided
- 1⁄2 tsp garlic salt, divided
- 1⁄4 tsp ground black pepper, divided
- 1 lb ground chicken breast*
- 3 Tbsp dry breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg white
- 3 Tbsp hot wing sauce
- 2 tsp butter
- 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
- 4 green leaf lettuce leaves
- 1⁄4 cup grated carrot
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, 1⁄4 teaspoon each of onion powder and garlic salt, and 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, breadcrumbs, egg white, 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder, 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper. Do not overmix. Divide mixture into four portions, and flatten to form patties.
- Spray a large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat. Add patties to pan, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until almost cooked through. Add hot sauce, butter, and 2 tablespoons of water to skillet and stir (around burgers) to combine. Cover pan, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Uncover, flip burgers, and cook until burgers are glazed with sauce.
- Warm buns, place a lettuce leaf on bottom of each half, add a burger, top with 1 1⁄2 tablespoons of spread, and garnish with grated carrot. Cover and enjoy!
