Chicken Mozzarella Burger – Low Carb WLS Recipe

In my book, grilling season is in fullllll swing. Yehaw! It’s burger time once again here at the Wagner house. I mentioned in my blog on Tex-Mex Burgers we would be having a Burger ‘O The Month club. Well, it’s not technically May yet…so I’m a day early. I guess that means I’ll just have to make another burger concoction later this month!

I used ground chicken for these burgers. More because it was on sale, but also because it brings a change of pace in flavor. Any lean ground meat would work. Also- I wrote on the recipe to top with BBQ sauce, but we didn’t use anymore than what was cooked in the burger patty. It was moist and delicious and didn’t need any sauce!
