Blue Cheese Chicken Burger

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste
• 1 lbs. uncooked extra lean ground chicken breast
• 1/2 cup scallion, sliced
• 1/4 cup celery, chopped
• 1/4 cup dried bread crumbs,
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp table salt
• 4  mixed-grain hamburger rolls
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
• 1 large tomato, cut into 8 slices
• 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled

 Makes 4 Servings

1. Coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high.
2. In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce and hot pepper sauce. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, barbecue sauce mixture, scallion, celery, bread crumbs, garlic, salt and blue cheese. Using wet hands (to prevent mixture from sticking), form chicken mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties; brush top of burgers with some remaining barbecue sauce mixture (if you have any leftover).
3. Place burgers on grill. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Lightly toast open-faced buns on grill during last minute of cooking.
4. To serve, place 4 bun bottoms on each of 4 plates. Top each with 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce, 2 tomato slices and burger.

Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. I already made barbecue sauce and I was in the mood for a good burger. Turkey and chicken burgers are just as delicious as beef burgers. If you're a fan of buffalo wings, this burger is definitely for you. It has the combination of what you normally order in a restaurant if you order buffalo wings: blue cheese, hot sauce, celery, etc. But there's some added ingredients to make this burger more flavorful: Barbecue sauce mixed with the hot sauce, scallions, garlic and bread crumbs. This juicy burger melts in your mouth with all the savory flavors combined. You can add more hot sauce if you want. I highly recommend serving this burger at a tailgate party because you'll be the only one serving gourmet burgers.
