heavy pinch salt
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 egg, whisked
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumb
neutral oil for cooking
For the Burgers:
mozzarella
watercress or arugula
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
pretzel bun
In a bowl, mix together the ground chicken, cayenne, salt, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, egg and Italian breadcrumbs. Form into 4 ounces patties. Sear the chicken burgers in a drizzle of oil on both sides until cooked through. Top with the mozzarella and allow it to melt.
Mix together the ½ cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
To build the burger, spread Dijon mayonnaise on both sides of the bun. Top the bottom bun with watercress. Place the chicken burger on top of the watercress. Close the burger and enjoy.
