And now presenting my all time favorite “Burger”. When in India the best we can get is a KFC or McDonald Burger. I first tasted a change in Burger when I traveled to New York and visited a restaurant in the upper Manhattan. Juicy and moist minced chicken patty topped with lettuce and tomatoes and mouth watering flavor of cheese made me to rethink the definition of burger. Then burger became my favorite Entree when I used to go out for lunches. Tasted a wide range of them- from Shake Shack (don’t ever miss it if you get a chance to visit Manhattan) to Wolfgang Puck’s Bistro inside Universal Studios, Los Angeles and always thought of recreating that magic at home myself. So here I present my variety of chicken burger at home. Hope you guys will like it and give it a try..

Place a few shredded lettuce leaves on the base half of each bun(this is a main ingredient of burger but was not available at my place when I prepared this), add 2 slices of tomato and place a chicken patty on it.
6. Top it with a cheese slice and 1 tbsp mayonnaise. Now add the sunny side up on the top. Cover with the other half bun. Serve immediately with some fries (I used store bought frozen fries this time)
