Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
8 slices rye bread
8 slices Swiss cheese
1/4 cup Russian dressing
Instructions
In a bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 4 patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until caramelized. Remove onions.
Wipe skillet clean. Assemble sandwiches: spread Russian dressing on 4 bread slices, top with a patty, caramelized onions, 2 slices Swiss cheese, and another bread slice.
Return skillet to medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese melts. Serve hot.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the chicken mixture.
Serve with pickles or a side salad.
Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
