Ingredients
2 tbsp (30 mL)
extra virgin olive oil
1 lb (0.5 kg)
ground chicken
1/2 lb (0.3 kg)
rapini
1 cup (250 mL)
low-sodium chicken broth
1
clove garlic, minced
hot red chili pepper flakes, pinch
1/4 cup (60 mL)
whole grain Dijon mustard
4
whole grain crusty rolls
Instructions
1
Divide the meat into four equal portions and shape into patties. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken burgers in batches and sear them on both sides until fully cooked, about 15 minutes total or when meat thermometer registers 165°F (74°C). If this needs to be done in batches, keep the burgers warm in the oven preheated to 200°F (95°C).
3
Meanwhile, add the chicken stock to a small pot or skillet and bring to a boil. Add the rapini, garlic, chili flakes and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes until tender. Drain and keep warm.
4
Split the buns in half and divide the mustard between them. Top with a burger, braised rapini and remaining bun. Serve immediately.
