Chicken Burger with Goat Cheese and Green Onion

This is a burger I made using a ground chicken patty as opposed to a grilled chicken breast. I've been using ground chicken for a few different recipes because it's just better than ground turkey. Ground chicken is actually hard to find in the grocery store because stores don't have much on hand or they don't have any at all.
 
I like goat cheese and I thought this combination would go together well, and it does! I'm throwing this out as a signature dish because I can't find any reference to this recipe on Google.
 
Ingredients:
1 pound ground chicken
Goat cheese
green onions
Green leaf lettuce
Potato bun
Mayonnaise
Stone ground mustard

Preparation:
Ground chicken is really soft and kind of difficult to make into a patty. I use a patty maker and the key is to put some water on each side of the patty maker so the chicken patty will release once you form into the patty.

Heat a 12" sauté pan to medium high. Use a little spray canola so the chicken patty doesn't stick to the pan. Cook the chicken patty for about 4 minutes per side, longer if your make thicker patties. When the chicken patty is done, your ready to assemble the burger.
 
Take you fresh potato bun and start by adding some mayo to the bottom piece of bun. Next add the green leaf lettuce and the chicken patty. Goat cheese can be very soft, so what I do is put it into the freezer for 10 minutes and that hardens it up so you can make nice slice of goat cheese.
 
Add a few slices of goat cheese and top with diced green onions. Take the top bun and spread on some stone ground course mustard. Cut the chicken burger in half and serve with a simple salad.
