Cordon Bleu Burger

The Cordon Bleu Burger is a delightful fusion of classic French flavors and hearty burger goodness, featuring a juicy chicken patty stuffed with ham and gooey cheese. Topped with a light Dijon mustard aioli and fresh greens, this burger is both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Thinly sliced ham - 60 grams
• Gruyère cheese - 60 grams
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh spinach - 1 cup
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
2. In a bowl, pound the chicken breast until it's about 1 cm thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Gruyère cheese on one half of the chicken breast, then fold the other half over to create a pocket.
4. Secure the edges with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent the filling from escaping.
5. Drizzle olive oil on the grill or skillet and place the chicken pocket on it. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
6. While the chicken is cooking, mix together the Dijon mustard and Greek yogurt in a small bowl to create the aioli.
7. Toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
8. Assemble the burgers by spreading the Dijon aioli on the bottom half of the bun, adding a layer of fresh spinach, then placing the cooked chicken pocket on top. Finish with the top half of the bun.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Cordon Bleu Burger!
