Chicken Burgers

These family-friendly burgers are also friendly on the waistline!

Ingredients:

• 500 g chicken mince
• 100 g mushrooms, roughly chopped
• 1 stick celery, roughly chopped
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 1 large sprig parsley
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 6 wholemeal bread rolls
• 2 Tbsp sweet chilli sauce
• 3 lettuce leaves, shredded
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced

Blend mushrooms, celery, onion, parsley, egg and soy sauce in a food processor until smooth. Mix with chicken mince and enough breadcrumbs to make a soft and manageable texture. Divide mixture and shape with a little flour to make six round patties, larger than the width of the rolls. Spray a non-stick pan with oil and cook the patties for four to five minutes on each side until brown and cooked through. Serve on a roll with the lettuce, tomato and cucumber slices.

For a beef burger, substitute 500 g lean beef for chicken. Substitute low-fat cottage cheese for the sweet chilli sauce.
