Messy Avocado Feta Chicken Burger Sandwiches with Homemade Oven Fries and Roasted Cheesy Tomatoes

This recipe is inspired by the Cobb salad, then changed dramatically. It includes some of my favourite ingredients like sour cream, green onion, avocado and chicken. It's a bit of a messy one, but so yummy! I hope you enjoy it too!


Prep Time: 20 mins  
Hands on Cooking: 60 mins   



Ingredients
Homemade Oven Fries
3 baking potatoes, cleaned and sliced into thick fries
1/2 tsp chilli powder
dash of cayenne pepper
10 shakes of Frank's Red Hot
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil


Messy Avocado Feta Chicken Burger Sandwiches
2 hard boiled eggs, crumbled
1 green onion
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup sour cream
1 package ground chicken
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp chopped sweet onion
1 tsp minced garlic (I use jarred)
1 ripe avocado
2 dashes of Realime
2 dashes of Frank's Red Hot sauce
4 Naan breads


Roasted Cheesy Tomatoes
4 tomatoes
12 slices of white cheddar
sprinkle of dried basil






Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. While it is heating, hard boil the eggs (if not already done), I follow this format
  3. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with chilli powder, cayenne, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, 1 tbsp of olive oil and salt to your preference
  4. Spray baking sheet with PAM then transfer potatoes to baking sheet and spread in a single layer, sprinkle with more salt (will help them brown)
  5. Cook in oven for 50 minutes, turning when the timer reads 35 and 15 minutes remaining. Add more salt as necessary (I like salt)
  6. While fries are cooking, thinly slice green onion and  mix in a bowl with crumbled feta and sour cream. Set aside
  7. Turn on grill press, mine is a Breville, or heat 1 tbsp of oil in a fry pan over medium heat (but wait until burgers are closer to being ready to cook
  8. In a medium bowl add ground chicken, onion, breadcrumbs, garlic, salt and pepper and mix with hands until combined.
  9. Shape into 8 small patties.
  10. In a small bowl, mash avocado with lime juice and Frank's Red Hot sauce. Set aside
  11. Add patties to grill (or fry pan) and heat until cooked through.
  12. While patties are cooking, cut tops off tomatoes and cut X slits in them. Insert cheese and sprinkle extra cheese on top. Sprinkle with dried basil.
  13. Add tomatoes to baking sheet with fries for last 10 minutes of cook time. 
  14. Spread avocado mixture on one side of naan bread, sprinkle with crumbled hard boiled egg and place two patties on top. Spoon feta mixture on top of burgers and fold in half.
  15. Serve with oven fries and roasted cheesy tomatoes.
Caution:
This meal is a three napkin dinner. It is messy, but delicious! To cut down on the mess you could substitute naan bread with English Muffins or small dinner rolls, topping with only one patty.

  1. This looks delicious - I love adding Franks Red Hot sauce to burgers. It gives it a boost of flavour.
