Why am I doing this?

Hello everyone or no one... ... I have started this blog as a sort of diary. I haven't been all that happy with my physical self as of late and am beginning to remedy these feelings. I thought that this might be a good place to go when I have things to say and no one to really say them to. So enjoy, laugh at, or relate to all that is to follow. Andi

Chicken Zucchini burgers ...... Yummy!

This recipe was listed online as a turkey burger recipe, but I had thawed ground chicken in the fridge to use so I thought... why not?

Turns out that chicken makes a great burger!!!  I cooked them on the George Foreman grill rather than on the stove and I really like the way the cooked!  Much more even than beef burgers.

  • one pound Ground Chicken
  • 1 small zucchini, grated
  • 1 Tbsp red onion, grated
  • 1 tsp garlic, chopped or grated
  • 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • Salt and Pepper
Combine chicken, zucchini, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.  Form 6 equal patties.

I made them ahead of time and put them in the fridge for a couple of hours so they were nice and firm when I began cooking them. 

These are so light on points that I didn't feel bad serving them with good old 'shells and cheese'.  (I'm just not ready to tackle homemade mac n cheese... soon tho'... very soon).

Each patty is 2.5 points... I ate with the thin sandwich buns that are available for 3 points with Miracle whip and no fat cheese, onion, and lettuce.   6.5 point burger!  totally worth it!  It was good.
