Sammich Saturday: Cheddar Jalapeno Chicken Burgers

July 13, 2013 by Jaida Leave a Comment

I’ve been trying to be more consistent with making sammiches/wraps and/or salads on the weekends for lunch, because they are usually pretty quick and easy and our weekends are usually pretty busy. Sometimes so busy that actually having time to make lunch is hard. I’ve made beef, turkey, and lamb burgers before, but  had yet to make a chicken burger. I have several pinned and saved, but when I saw this one I knew that it had to be on the menu right away.

And holy mackerel was it good!! The flavors from all the seasonings really came through and the patty itself had a great taste. Add to that avocado on top and you have what is now my favorite non-beef burger. That’s saying something y’all, cuz I loves me a good burger!!! J had never had anything made with ground chicken before, but he loves turkey burgers, and now chicken burgers too!!

If you’ve never tried a chicken burger before, you definitely need to add this to your menu!!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
