Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 3 Gluten-free burger buns
• 6 Lettuce leaves
• 3 American cheese slices
• 12 Pickle slices
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free Thousand Island dressing
• 1 tablespoon White sesame seeds
• 3 Gluten-free toasted sandwich pickles

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Divide mixture into six equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook each chicken patty for about 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, prepare the gluten-free buns by slicing them in half. Toast them lightly, if desired.

Step 5

Once the patties are cooked, place one cheese slice on each of three patties while still on the grill, allowing it to melt slightly.

Step 6

To assemble: Spread a layer of gluten-free Thousand Island dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, then a plain chicken patty, followed by the patty with cheese.

Step 7

Add another bun half, more sauce, 2 more pickle slices, and another lettuce leaf on top of the cheese patty.

Step 8

Place the top bun section on each sandwich to complete the Big Mac-style stack.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top bun for an authentic look.

Step 10

Secure each sandwich with a toothpick or sandwich pickle spear if desired.
