No grill? You only need an oven to make these Chicken Mushroom Burgers.
And hey, there are reasons that’s a good thing: no worrying about carcinogenic compounds, no hustling back and forth between the kitchen and the backyard, and easier clean-up.
Some tips to make these burgers really amazing: You can swap in or add other veggies, like organic tri-color peppers, quinoa, kale, or collard greens.
Top them with sliced or mashed avocado, sauteed mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, red onion, or pickles and condiments like yellow or Dijon mustard, tahini sauce, or sriracha.
Serve them on toasted multi-grain buns, in pita pockets, or in lettuce wraps.
