Blackened Chicken Burgers w/ Honey Mustard Slaw and Sweet Potato Fries

Due to this blog I have been eating WAY to much and not so healthy foods, too often.  Tonight I decided to try to slim down the calories a little bit.  I got some freshly ground chicken at the meat market last week and was excited to use it.  I like to mix sweet and spicy foods together.  On the way to the store I had the idea of mixing the honey mustard with the coleslaw mix for a topping on the blackened burgers.  It turned out to be a really good idea! 

Ingredients:

Coleslaw (Make this a couple hours ahead of time and stick in the refrigerator to marinate)

2 Tbls. Honey
2 Tbls. Course Ground Mustard
1 Tbls. Light Mayo (Hellman's Light is my choice)
Mix together
Add 1 1/2 C. Coleslaw mix

Sweet Potato Fries w/ Horseradish Sauce

Pre-heat oven @ 425

3 Sweet Potatoes peeled sliced and chopped into steak fries
Toss in bowl in with Olive oil, Salt and Old Bay seasoning
Bake on cooking sheet for 30 min. turning once half way through

Horseradish Dipping Sauce

Use equal parts: Light Mayo, Light Sour Cream and Horseradish.  Season w/ salt to taste. (Side note- this could also be used as a condiment on the burger)


Chicken Burgers

Pre-heat cast iron skillet

1 lb. Ground Chicken
1 egg
1/4 C. plain breadcrumbs
Season w/ salt and pepper (about 1 Tbls. each-estimate...sorry...don't measure)
Mix, Patty and coat both sides with Old Bay Blackened Seasoning (or your favorite blackened seasoning)
Sear and cook in preheated cast iron skillet for about 7 min. on each side

Serve on a nice, soft bun with a slice of Havarti cheese and a good helping of the coleslaw! 

Enjoy!!!!
