Low Fat Southwestern Chicken Burgers

Serves: 2

Ingredients :

3/4 pound ground white-meat chicken
1/4 cup no-sugar-added tomato salsa, drained
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Olive oil spray
2 whole wheat or whole grain hamburger rolls
1 medium tomato, sliced
2 lettuce leaves

Method :

1. Mix chicken, salsa and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.

2. Shape into burgers about 4 inches round and 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick.

3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Spray with oil and sauté burgers about five minutes on each side, until internal temperature reaches 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.

4. Meanwhile, spray rolls with oil and toast. Place cooked burgers on bottom half of each roll.

5. Top each with 1 slice tomato and lettuce, arranging extra tomato on plates.

Note: Be sure to drain the salsa or the hamburgers won't hold their shape.
