Stuffed chicken burgers w/ spicy parmesan fries

Ok, so I'm a bargain shopper and I shop for the best deals and use coupons etc. and lately I've noticed that the cheapest ground meat at my grocery store is ground chicken so I've been buying that in the place of lean ground beef or turkey. So after making the typical ground beef recipes, sans meatloaf (my hubby dosent care for it to much :-/ don't ask me why lol) I decided to try something new. Stuffed chicken burgers! And man they turned out great!  I started with a lb of ground chicken. Dumped it into a bowl and added about a half cup of fresh finely chopped spinach. About a tablespoon each of finely chopped green and red onion, dill pickle, avocado and one mushroom finely chopped. I seasoned the meat with a tbsp of liquid smoke onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, hot adobo seasoning, roasted cumin, cayenne proper, low sodium seasoning salt and dried basil leaves ( didn't measure but all about a teaspoon+ each). Then I added an egg and a cup of breadcrumbs to the bowl and mixed well with my hands. Scoured it with my hand into four equal portions then set it to the side while I cut 4 equal tablespoons out of the block of low fat cream cheese. Ok divide each section of meat into two flat patties, flatten the cream cheese and place in the center then place other patty atop the cheese and seal edges. I seared each side of the patty for about 5 minutes each then transferred the skillet in a preheated oven for and additional 15-20 since the patties are pretty thick and you want them to get cooked through. When removed from oven add cheese so it can melt.

Next I toast my whole wheat buns in the same skillet that the meat was cooked in with a little added butter ( I use smart balance). Then add some of my homemade habernero mustard, pickle, Avacado slices and pickled Jalapeños.

There you have it! Awesomeness in a bun lol.

The fries were peeled, sliced and rinsed until water runs clear, then I let them soak in ice water for 30 minutes before patting dry and frying in 350 degree canola oil. After letting them drain on Towel I mixed them in my spicy Parm seasoning blend which consists of parmesan cheese, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, onion powder, seasoning salt, chipolte chilli powder and smoked paprika. I served them with hot and spicy ketchup.
