Portobello and Provolone Chicken Burgers

Things You'll Need on Hand:

• 4 Large Chicken Breasts (Cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2/3 Cup Chopped Kale
• 1/3 Cup Chopped Red Bell Pepper
• 1/3 Cup Chopped Red Onion
• 2/3 Cup Chopped Portobello Mushrooms
• 1/3 Cup Chopped Carrot
• 2 Chopped Garlic Cloves
• 1 Egg
• 2 Tbs Bread Crumbs
• Sliced Provolone Cheese

Prepare Chicken:

In a food processor, grind chicken cubes. Set aside.

Prepare Vegetables:

Sauté kale, mushrooms, onion, carrots, red pepper and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Set aside a handful of mushrooms and red onion for topping.

Prepare Chicken Patties:

Combine chicken, egg, bread crumbs and sautéed vegetable mix. If very wet, add more breadcrumbs. Mold patties and prepare to pan grill.

Grilling Chicken Patties:

Note: Patties will be very loose and sticky, but that's okay. 

Heat a cast-iron grill pan and coat in Pam or olive oil. Grill patties for 4-5 minutes per side. Then, slice patties in half, and grill face-down until center is cooked thoroughly. 

Plate:

Sandwich a slice of provolone between two of the thin, chicken patties. Top with sautéed mushrooms and red onions.

No sauce needed! Enjoy!
