Chicken Cordon Burgers

Ryan is kind of a pre-packaged type guy. Frozen chicken...fries... sidekicks. That there is the repitoire.

One of our favorite 'Ryan' foods, however, is Chicken Cordon Burgers... we usually do it with pre-frozen chicken patties, ham, swiss cheese... We decided to do a new take on it and make our own chicken patties for this particular version of the meal... which is what Sam set out to do while I was making Chocolate Chip Cookies (from the same kids cookbook as the delicious brownies we made last time.)



Chicken Cordon Burgers

What We Used
The burgers:

• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 green onion
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular if you don't have smoked)
• breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• onion powder

The Fixings:

• Old Fashioned Ham deli meat slices
• swiss cheese
• mayo (if you like it...)
• whatever type of hamburger bun you prefer

Sam started out by mulching the chicken breasts with the pepper, the green onion and the paprika in the food processor. Bread crumbs and egg were mixed in until the mess had the proper consistancy (ie: It would hold a patty shape)

The patties were covered in bread crumbs and a little onion powder and then put in a pan with grapeseed oil to fry. After the patties were done, they were topped with a slice of swiss cheese and the ham and placed lovingly on a bun.

Ryan, of course, approved. Which is what was important.

And there was cookies!
