I don’t know if anyone else saw Rachael Ray’s show where she cooked the foods that her late dog loved, but it was really touching! I guess for those of us without children it nice to have “kids” to cook for even if they are on all fours. This recipe is not just dog food though… it is really tasty (and healthy) people food. I did, however, make my cat his own mini-burger and he loved it.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken breast
1 tablespoon smoked paprika (this is the key ingredient)
1 1/2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend
1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped parsley chopped
1/2 medium yellow skinned onion
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 slices sandwich white or whole-wheat bread
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups chopped baby spinach, watercress or arugula
– Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
– Place chicken in a bowl and add the smoked paprika, grill seasoning and parsley to it.
– Using a hand held grater or microplane, grate the onion into the chicken.
– Add the garlic and mix to combine.
– Drizzle the chicken mixture with about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
– Form 4 large thin patties then place them in the pan.
– Cook patties 5 minutes on each side.
– Toast bread slices and spread liberally with softened butter.
– Serve patties on buttered toast with some chopped dark greens.
Linda’s Notes:
– Ground turkey meat is fabulous as well!
– The pre-washed arugula and dark greens salad is easy for the greans part
– A thinly sliced tomato would be nice on top of the greens
