Vita-B Chicken Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts (about a lb or lb & a half)
• 1/4 cup wheat germ (or more if you'd like)
• 1-2 teaspoon vegetable oil (or oil of your choice)
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (the kind you make chili with)
• salt and pepper (about 1/4 tsp each)

Directions

1. 1

   Process chicken in a food processor. You could use pre-ground if you have it on hand, but I bought some cheap quality breasts and wanted to get rid of them --

2. 2

   Add all spices and wheat germ. You could process to avoid manhandling the chicken, but my food processor is a small one so I mix in a separate bowl with my hands.

3. 3

   Form mixture into 4 baseball-size balls, then flatten evenly. Burgers tend to rise in the middle, so it's important to flatten them evenly, or even a bit more in the centres.

4. 4

   At this point you can bbq the burgers on an oiled grill or, as I do, broil in a gas broiler on tinfoil (to help with clean up).

5. 5

   Spritz burgers with oil and broil or grill for 7 minutes. The tops (or bottoms on a grill) will be a nice golden brown.

6. 6

   Flip burgers, spritz again and broil or grill for about 5 more minutes.

7. 7

   Top with cheese and let burgers sit off the heat source for a few minutes. The cheese will melt and the burgers will retain their juices.

8. 8

   Top with guacamole or sliced tomato (or both if you like your burger kinda sloppy!).

9. 9

   Enjoy!
