Mini Chicken Burgers

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground white meat chicken

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup barbeque sauce

4 slices cheddar cheese, quartered

2 cups baby greens

2 small tomatoes, sliced

4 tbsp honey mustard, divided

8 whole wheat dinner rolls, split

Directions:

Mix together ground chicken, garlic, onion, cayenne, salt and pepper, and barbeque sauce; mix until completely combined.  Form small patties large enough to fit dinner rolls.  Grill chicken patties until completely cooked through; melt 2 quarter pieces of cheddar cheese on top of each patty.  Place chicken burgers on bottom bun and top each with 1/4 cup baby greens, sliced tomato, and honey mustard sauce. 

Serves 4 (2 mini burgers each).  To continue with the healthy burger theme, serve with roasted potato slices seasoned with favorite spices!  These also go great with a side salad, pasta salad, beans, and fresh fruit. 

Corned Beef Reubens

Ingredients:

8 slices rye bread

8 tsp butter or margarine, divided

1 lb. corned beef, shaved, divided

1 cup sauerkraut, divided

4 slices Swiss cheese

Thousand Island Dressing

4 tbsp mayonnaise

4 tbsp ketchup

2 tbsp sweet pickle relish

1/4 tsp paprika

Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat.  Butter one side of each piece of bread; top 4 pieces of bread (non-buttered side) with 4 oz. corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese.   Place remaining pieces of bread on top of sandwiches, butter side up.  Arrange sandwiches on griddle and cook until toasted and lightly browned on each side.  Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix together all dressing ingredients.  Serve finished sandwiches with Thousand Island Dressing for dipping or spread about 2 tbsp. on each sandwich.
