Grilled Dijon Chicken Burgers – WLS Recipes

Burgers are such a great meal for a weight-loss surgery patient. Easy to get together. Tons of flavor. Make several of them and add different toppings to not grow tired of them. Okay fine. It’s great for anyone 🙂

Rain or shine, burgers are awesome. Even when your Memorial Day includes a down pour (likes ours….and we needed it!) you can still broil or use a grill pan to create easy and delicious hamburger patties.

These burgers are made with ground chicken. Not only super lean and packed with protein, ground chicken is also inexpensive. It’s a little “sticky” to work with because it’s so lean (and it’s chicken) so spray your grill or grill pan to prevent the burger from sticking to the grates.
