Pulled Chicken Burger

Burgers are not always meant to be wicked and fiendishly loaded - luring you into the sinful world of taste followed by ( read sometimes ) loads of guilt . What if you had a burger which was guilt free , healthy and packed in flavor yet voraciously delicious and comforting .

This my dear friends is just that ....

Made with what happens to be my favorite protein - this burger filling is an absolute winner. It stands true to its taste being high on flavor , low on fat and so perfectly lean such that it can be easily digested . In principal , I have chosen to keep it simple such that it is not too overwhelming but yes , feel free to add any additional layers of cheese , mayo or some creamy mushrooms if you do choose to dress it up . I particularly like to make the juicy chicken inside sing - which when slow-cooked shreds easily to bits and is an absolute melt in the mouth . Besides this , the version is simply layered with some crunchy lettuce , a sunny side and loads of caramelized onion and quite really , nothing fancy .

I don’t want to raise a banter but honestly , these burgers are lip smackingly good - do try them out this weekend and you’ll believe as I say :)
