Health Highlights

Ingredients


1/2 avocado(s) Avocado (sliced, for topping)
1/2 cup Baby spinach (for topping)
1/2 cup Basil pesto (or pesto flavour of choice)
454 gm Chicken, ground, lean
1 tsp Coconut oil
1/4 cup Goat cheese, semi-soft
1 1/2 cup Quinoa, cooked
1 medium Tomato (sliced, for topping)

Instructions


In a large bowl, add cooked quinoa, pesto and goat cheese into the ground chicken. Using your hands, thoroughly combine the ingredients. Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, scoop the burger mixture into circular flat “patties”.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Place 3- 4 burger patties in the pan, gently lifting them to avoid sticking. Cook for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve burgers on a cabbage leaf “bun" or on a bed of mixed greens.

Top with sliced avocado, remaining pesto, plain Greek yogurt or your favourite burger toppings!
