Garlic Rosemary Chicken Burgers

Sauce:
1/2 cup lowfat mayonnaise (I used Smart Balance)
1/2 cup lowfat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced

Burgers:
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
4 sandwich rolls/buns
1 cup arugula, divided

Directions:

1) For the sauce, combine the mayo, yogurt, rosemary and garlic in a bowl. Mix well. Chill for an hour so that the flavors can combine.

2) In medium sized bowl mix the chicken, 1/4 to 1/2 the mayo mixture, salt, and pepper by hand (if you add too much of the sauce the mixture becomes too "wet" and difficult to form into patties. If this happens add some panko or bread crumbs to firm up. The mixture should be fairly moist though.) Form into four patties.

3) Grill for 7 minutes per side or lightly grease a large pan and saute until cooked through.

4) Spread a generous dollop of sauce on each bun, place 1/4 of the arugula on the top of each bun and a burger on the bottom half of bun.

This recipe comes from my days of watching the food network while I ran on the treadmill in ARM's basement on my lunch hour. I used to time it so that I could watch Giada as for some reason I've always loved her show. This was one of the recipes she made that I immediately went home and recreated...and loved. I've subsequently tweaked the recipe a little to my own liking, using a bit more garlic and substituting half the mayo for lowfat greek yogurt to shave some calories and it's just as good in my opinion. These are very easy to make, taste delicious, look fancy and are pretty healthy! Buon appetito!
