Chicken Burger w/ Baked Fries
August 13, 2019 at 6:27 PM | Posted in Aunt Millie's, chicken, Ore - Ida | 2 CommentsTags: Baking, Burgers, Butter Lettuce, Cooking, Dinner, Food, Ground Chicken, Heinz 57 Sauce, Hoffman's Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Meijer Italian Style Bread Crumbs, Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries, recipes, Spices
Today’s Menu: Chicken Burger w/ Baked Fries
To start this day off I prepared a Poached Egg that I served on a Thomas Light English Muffin. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Heavy Rains and Thunderstorms hit the early morning 
hours. We nned the rain though the grass was starting to turn brown. Cleaned the house and then put Mom’s new Hoover Vacuum together, not a lot to it. This one has a cord which she will use and we still have Hoover Cordless which I use. The Cordless are nice, especially for me being in a wheelchair. But they don’t have the power of a Vacuum with a cord. Not much else going on. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Chicken Burger w/ Baked Fries.
I had been seeing a lot of Chicken Burgers at a lot of blogs out there, and they all look incredible! So I had bought a package from Meijer. The Burgers turned out so good that I purchased 
another package of the Smart Chicken – Ground Chicken and having them again tonight. To make the Burger I’ll need; the Ground Chicken (1 lb. package), Ground Cumin, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, McCormick’s Grinders of Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and Meijer Italian Style Bread Crumbs.
For toppings I’m using Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/Olive Oil, Heinz 57 Sauce, Hoffman’s Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Butter Leaf Lettuce and served on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun. I’m keeping the toppings the same as last time, the Burgers came out delicious!
So to prepare them, in a large bowl, combine Chicken, Ground Cumin, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and Italian Style Bread Crumbs. The Seasonings 
amount are to taste and 2 tablespoons of the Italian Style Bread Crumbs. Make a little depression with your thumb in the center of each burger so they cook evenly. Divide the mixture into 4 patties.
In a Cast Iron Skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add burger patties and cook, flipping once, until golden and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with 
cheddar and cook until just started melting, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer patties to a plate. Serve on the Buns and top with Mayo, Heinz 57 Sauce, and Lettuce. The Ground Chicken Burger is juicy, moist, and flavorful!
To go with the Chicken Burger I prepared Ore Ida Golden Crinkle Cut French Fries. Like all the Ore Ida Products, they are easy to prepare and delicious. I just baked them for 19 minutes and done! 
Served them with a side of Heinz 57 Sauce. For Dessert/Snack later a Snyder’s 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Pretzels along with a Diet Peach Snapple.
Ground Chicken
Ground chicken is a healthy start for any meal since one serving (100 grams, or about 3 ounces) meets one’s protein needs for a nutritious meal – plus it’s lower in calories and fat than many meat sources. Lean ground chicken is high in protein and offers less saturated fat than ground beef.

Chicken Burger w/ Baked Fries

Today’s Menu: Chicken Burger w/ Baked Fries
To start this day off I prepared a packet of Kroger Buttery Grits, fried 2 Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, toasted a slice of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread, and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Too good! 84 degrees and humid out along with thunderstorms around the area toady. We need the rain though. Spent most of the day boxing items up in my bedroom. They are coming next week to put down new carpet in my bedroom and bath room. Much needed! My Hoveround Chair has really run the carpet down in the bedroom. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Chicken Burger w/ Baked Fries.
I’ve been seeing a lot of Chicken Burgers at a lot of blogs out there, and they all look incredible! It’s been a while since I’ve had one so I purchased a package from Meijer last week. To make the Burger I’ll need; the Ground Chicken (1 lb. package), Ground Cumin, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, McCormick’s Grinders of Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and Meijer Italian Style Bread Crumbs.

Top with cheddar and cook until just started melting, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer patties to a plate. Serve on the Buns and top with Mayo, Heinz 57 Sauce, and Lettuce. The Ground Chicken Burger is juicy, moist, and flavorful! I’ll have to start having a lot more often!
To go with the Chicken Burger I prepared Ore Ida Golden Crinkle Cut French Fries. Like all the Ore Ida Products, they are easy to prepare and delicious. I just baked them for 19 minutes and done! Served them with a side of Heinz 57 Sauce. For Dessert later a bowl of sliced South Carolina Peaches, these are so good!

For a quick dinner, try one of our genius 30-minute recipes loaded with fresh vegetables, lean protein and amazing flavor. Our healthy recipes feature stir-fries, soups, salads and more to help you get a nutritious, yet delicious dinner on the table fast.
Korean Turkey Burgers with Kimchi
Korean chile paste (also known as gochujang) blended into the ground turkey makes this turkey burger recipe incredibly moist and flavorful. Top these healthy turkey burgers with kimchi–a fermented mixture of cabbage and other vegetables–which can be found near other refrigerated Asian ingredients or near sauerkraut or pickles in well-stocked supermarkets or natural-foods stores…………….
Honey-Harissa Pork Tenderloin with Saffron Freekeh and Zucchini
In this 30-minute healthy dinner recipe, whole-grain freekeh cooks unattended while you finish the rest of the meal. Using baby vegetables cuts down on prep time because they can be cooked whole. Look for them near prepared and/or specialty vegetables. If you can’t find them, use 4 cups sliced small zucchini or summer squash instead (1/2-inch-thick slices)……………
Crispy Chicken Schnitzel with Herb-Brown Butter
This healthy recipe for crispy chicken schnitzel involves coating the chicken breasts with fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs and oven “frying” using a mist of olive oil cooking spray instead of frying in lots of oil. Serve on a bed of mixed greens or with mashed potatoes……………….
