Instructions
- Melt Becel® Buttery Taste margarine* in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook onion with mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in spinach and cook 1 minute or until wilted. Season, if desired, with fresh black pepper. Remove vegetables from skillet. Reserve 1/2 of the vegetable mixture in medium bowl and keep warm.
- Combine ground chicken, carrots, green onions and remaining 1/2 of the slightly cooled vegetables in medium bowl; shape into 2 patties.
- Grill or broil burgers, turning once, until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 8 minutes.
- Arrange burgers on rolls, then top with reserved vegetables.
TIP: For added buttery flavour and to help prevent meat from sticking to the grill, first brush it with melted Becel.
