While it’s not technically summer, as soon as the weather warms up, it’s time to grill But if you need something different than the usual hamburgers, what are your options?
This simple grilled chicken burger (with a butter lettuce wrap) is a delicious and simple way to enjoy something delicious while staying healthy.
Ground chicken, an egg, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, ground almonds, and a little bit of pepper for flavor are the main ingredients. Combine in a large bowl, hand shape the patties, and toss them on the grill. It was seriously that easy!
For toppings, we went with pepper jack cheese, red onions, and butter lettuce. Add ketchup or mustard if you like, and you have a perfectly healthy–and delicious–burger. When all six of us like it, including the youngest, we know we’ve made a keeper.

We like to make everything from scratch, so we start with the freshest and healthiest ingredients we can find and go from there. Here’s a burger I created the other day that we enjoyed. A lot. As in, they were all gone very quickly. We start with grass-fed ground beef, doing our best to stay as close to organic as possible. It costs more, but the quality is worth it. I put together a little marinade to let it soak in overnight before getting it ready for grilling.
Grilling time depends on your grill, so watch them carefully, and when you’re ready, just a few moments before serving, add some cheese. If that’s what you like. Don’t add it if your family has issues with dairy, doesn’t like cheesburgers, or hates melted cheese.
