Recipe: Chicken Burger

Hubby loves making hamburgers. And I love eating them. But it's really easy for the calories to add up. So I asked him to make me a lighter version. He used 1/2 lb of ground chicken to make two patties (seasoned with Montreal Chicken Seasoning, rosemary, and thyme), which he grilled on the George Foreman. Then he melted 1/2 oz of mozzarella on each patty. He served each patty open-faced on half a slice of sourdough toast with red leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced jalapeno, and grilled mushrooms (I got baby portabellas at Costco, and they just taste so much better than the regular white mushrooms I normally get).  The total for both burgers was about 500 calories, which was amazing for how delicious and satisfying they were. Props to the mister for making a healthy dinner taste like a cheat meal!
