5 Easy Ways to Dress Up a Chicken Burger
5 super simple ways to dress up a chicken chicken burger or chicken breast in just 10 minutes. Keep summer grilling exciting. 
Don’t you love the summer grilling season? Even if I am making burgers on the stove, I appreciate the casual atmosphere! Yesterday, to make things even more fun, I experimented with some different ways to liven up a grilled chicken sandwich.
This post was inspired by Gold ‘n Plump who just sent me samples of their new chicken patties. Gold n Plump partners with nearly 350 family farmers in Minnesota and Wisconsin to source their chicken, so even though I buy a lot of food right off the farm, when I don’t, I buy from companies like this. 
Now I did mention that I am “dressing up” my burgers, but first I need to tell you… these patties are delicious on their own–as in, worth cooking for the smell alone! And when my oldest gets home from community band late in the evening and starts rummaging, that burger is going in the pan in its simplest form. But hey, everyone wants variety in a chicken burger!
The whole family enjoyed the chicken patties and I got a lot of points for making “normal” food. But my biggest surprise was learning that I prefer working with the patties than a chicken breast–easier (no thawing, trimming), faster and dare I say tastier?
Right now everyone’s schedule is completely insane at our house. Between summer jobs (even before school has ended), bike commutes, summer classes & clubs, it is critical to have dinner ideas that come together in a snap. Or five “snaps” depending on who gets home when!
Preparation

Five Fun and Easy Chicken Burgers!
Southwest Chicken Sandwich
Top with prepared salsa and avocado slices
Chicken Parmesan Sandwich
Top with mozzarella cheese and prepared spaghetti, pizza or marinara sauce.
(Double) Swiss Mushroom Burger
Top with melted Swiss and sauteed mushrooms (prepare them while the burger is cooking). Especially good on the Mushroom and Swiss Patty. 
Greek Burger
Top with roasted red pepper, feta, onion, arugula.
Chicken Florentine Burger
Top with grated Parmesan and spinach that has been wilted in 1 T sherry or white wine.
And remember that these would also make great chicken breast sandwiches or could even be made with hamburger patties.
Variety is the spice of life! Gotta love summer chicken burgers!
