Atkins Chicken Recipes

Ingredients:

2 lb ground chicken
1 cup bread crumbs, Orowheat - LC-5.4, or Atkins
3 large scallion, chopped
2 clove garlic, pushed through a press
1 large egg, beaten
3 tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped ; divided
1 tbsp cumin, ground
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 cup green salsa
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted, cubed
2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions:

A south-of-the-border spin makes these burgers extra tasty.

1. Combine chicken, bread crumbs, green onions, garlic, egg, 1 tbs of the
cilantro, cumin, salt and chili powder in a bowl. Mix well and shape into
four 1'-thick patties. Place on a plate, cover and refrigerate 1 hour.

2. Meanwhile, mix salsa, avocado and remaining cilantro in a bowl and set
aside.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook burgers 7
minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Serve with salsa
mixture.

As wet as the ground chicken is, there is no way I could make a HALF-POUND
burger. Even the quarter pounders did not really make more than a blob. My
avocado turned out to be moldy on the inside so I substituted ~2 oz of
(warmed) cream cheese. Made the sauce a pale green but was EXCELLENT.
