By mjohnmeyer

Ingredients

• Bayou Mayo:
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 pound mushrooms, chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 celery rib, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 pound ground chicken breast
• 1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning
• 4 hamburger buns, split
• 1/2 cup light mayo
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon creole seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender, about 8 min. Remove from heat; transfer to a large bowl. Let cool 5 minutes.

2. Add the ground chicken and creole seasoning to the onion/mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Shape into 4 patties.

3. Spray a grill pan (or griddle) with nonstick spray and heat to medium heat. Add the patties and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked...about 6 – 7 minutes per side.

4. Meanwhile, prepare the Bayou Mayo by combining the mayo, chives, lemon juice, and creole seasoning. Serve the burgers in the buns topped with the Bayou Mayo.
