{Delicious Dinners} Chicken Burgers & Sweet Potato Fries

I know what you're thinking ... Sara posting a cooking recipe? What is happening here?!  Well, Mike and I are trying to lose some weight and get healthy is what's happening. Mike wants to get more fit for Ethan, and I have a few more pounds to lose from being pregnant - and yes, that was over seven months ago.  I know.  Therefore, the springform pans are being replaced with skillets, and the sifting is being switched for sautéing.  Never fear, baking recipes will still be posted, but for now, here is the first entry in my Delicious Dinners segement!

Chicken Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries*



















Ingredients:

2 Sommers Organic Chicken Burger patties
1 slice red onion
1 Roma tomato
1/2 avocado
4 - 5 slices butter lettuce

2 servings Ore Ida Sweet Potato Crinkle Cut Fries (approx. 26 pieces)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees for fries.  Once preheated, stick fries in the oven.
2.   While the fries are baking, grill, bake, or cook chicken burgers until cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165 degrees.  Make sure to season with salt and pepper while cooking!
3.  While burgers and fries are cooking, chop red onion, de-seed and chop Roma tomato, and slice avocado.
4.  Wash and dry 4 - 5 slices of butter lettuce.
5.  Your burgers and fries should be done.  Put your burgers on lettuce leaves instead of a bun, and top with chopped onion, tomato, and avocado, and mustard, if desired.

* I am fully aware this isn't really a recipe, more like a dinner idea.  You've gotta start somewhere, right?
