dressed up chicken burgers

sometimes you just don't have the "extras" for your burgers that you would like.  especially a cold tomato, some lettuce and all the toppings.  but today i share one of  my favorites shared with me from my lil love danielle.  i've altered it a lithe because i don't have the patience that she does and it's almost as good as hers.  cooking and sting healthy are her passions.... eating healthy is one of mine.  hee hee.  

here are the details:
1 package ground chicken - i try to get the one that is natural
1/2 package of baby spinach
1 4 oz package of feta - reduced fat
onion powder 

place your spinach in a sautee pan
add a sprinkle of onion powder 
sautee until wilted - let cool - i don't always let it cool but if i have the time i will

add to a bowl with your ground chicken and feta
use hands to mix until well combined

make burger patties out of them
place on flat iron set at 300 degrees - you can also use a sautee pan for this step too
cook on each side for about 15 minutes depending on size
i will usually cut one or all of them open to make sure they are cooked - i am super paranoid of under cooking chicken

i don't use buns to save the carbs but
they are a good protein for a  meal of even just a snack.  

hope you love them and you visit her instagram page for more awesome recipes!  @firstmatefitness - love you!

holiday weeks are the hardest.  they are short but sometimes seem so long.  here's a little healthy pick me up to get you through and to cool you down this summer.    

fill your glass with ice
pour 4 oz or 1/4 cup of the Chameleon Cold Brew Organic Mocha Coffee
add two tablespoons of Silk almond creamer
add as much Silk Almond milk as you desire - i use vanilla

honestly, this is delicious, half the price of starbucks and a healthy alternative to the sugar overloaded dunkin donuts iced coffee.  

hope you love it as much as i do!
