Skinny recipe #14 Chicken burgers with butternut squash chips

Hello!

 

 

I'm sorry... this isn't the best picture that was ever taken but I really wanted to post about this because it was so bloody tasty.

 

Sometimes I try a 'skinny recipe' from pinterest and fail miserably but butternut squash chips...

HELLO!

 

Here's how you make this skinny but tasty burger & chips combo.

 

Serves 1

 

You will need:

• 1 chicken breast
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 cup panko (will find in the Japenese aisle)
• 1 Warburtons square
• Few slices of low fat cheese
• 2 rashers of turkey bacon
• Mayo/lettuce/BBQ sauce - whatever you like in your burger
• 1/4 butternut squash
• Salt & pepper
• Any other seasoning, such as soul food seasoning that I used!
• Olive oil

Method:

• Preheat oven to 190/200 whilst preparing your chicken
• Lay your chicken breast on a chopping board and cover with a sheet of foil or cling film. Bash with a rolling pin to flatten it out - this will make it cook evenly/quicker
• Crack an egg into a bowl and lightly beat and also pour 1 cup of panko onto a small plate.
• Coat your chicken breast in the beaten egg and then lay on the panko, coating evenly both sides.
• Repeat with the egg and panko to make sure its nicely covered and then place on a baking sheet. Pop to one side whilst you prepare your chips.
• Top and tail a butternut squash, then peel.
• Cut into chip size chunks and place on a baking sheet.
• Season with salt, pepper and any additional seasoning of your choice. Mine was soul food seasoning!
• Drizzle with olive oil and place on the top/middle shelf in the oven. These will take 30 minutes and will need turning over half way through cooking.
• Depending on the size of your chicken, time with the chips to make sure they are all cooked at the same time.
• Pop into the oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breast. Perhaps check after 20 minutes by cutting into it to make sure there's no pink/juices are clear.
• Just before your chips are finished but your chicken is cooked, grill two rashers of turkey bacon (takes 2 minutes either side) and then add to your chicken burger with cheese if you desire!
• Serve the chips and assemble the bun by adding your mayo/BBQ sauce/tomato sauce etc.

The Warburton squares are much lighter than buns and a great alternative if you still want that bready fix.

 

 

It doesn't look amazingly healthy but I can confirm that it's ten times healthier for you than white potato chips and super burger buns!

 

Even if you don't fancy the burger, try out the chips.

They're so simple - you might even get your kids to love them :]
