Dijon Chicken Burgers with Peppers
This colorful, protein-rich, and nutrient-dense dish serves four. It's an incredibly tasty way to enjoy organic, pasture-raised chicken, with the added benefits of fresh vegetables and a kick of Dijon mustard.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb organic, pasture-raised ground chicken
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- Assorted baby peppers, cut into thin slices
- Dijon mustard to taste
- 8 slices sunshine bread
- Organic spinach for serving
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or preheat your Panini grill.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated zucchini, parsley, garlic, onion, sea salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Form the mixture into four equal patties and place them on a baking sheet or directly onto the preheated Panini grill.
4. Bake or grill the burgers until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from heat and let them rest until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).
5. While the burgers are resting, lightly sauté your baby peppers if desired, or you can leave them raw for a crunchy texture.
6. Quickly sauté the organic spinach with a little sea salt and fresh cracked pepper until wilted.
7. To serve, place a bed of sautéed spinach in the center of the plate. Add the chicken burger, decorate with sliced peppers, and dollop with Dijon mustard over the sunshine bread.
