I'm not sure what to really call these beauties. Are they burgers? Sliders? Open-faced 'bliders'? No clue.. any who.. they're so tasty and very filling! Ate them after a great workout to refuel on good carbs and protein. The tzatziki adds the perfect touch to these! I got lazy and ended up blending the cucumber and yogurt rather than chopping it by hand and wow was it yummy. Preparation-wise, this will take you a little bit of time if you don't already have cooked chicken. A light bulb just went off in my head -> perfect idea for leftover chicken...
Ingredients:
1 thick sweet potato cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup shredded chicken, cooked
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into rounds
1 cucumber ~6 inches, peel-on
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 tsp salt
2 tsps dried crushed mint
2 small cloves garlic
cherry tomatoes, sliced for topping
1 thick sweet potato cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup shredded chicken, cooked
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into rounds
1 cucumber ~6 inches, peel-on
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 tsp salt
2 tsps dried crushed mint
2 small cloves garlic
cherry tomatoes, sliced for topping
Place the sweet potato slices in a toaster oven (or in a regular oven) and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees, flipping half way. Once they're cooked but still firm, take them out and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, add the cucumber, yogurt, salt, crushed mint, and garlic, to a blender and pulse a few times until the cucumber breaks down. Then you're ready to put your sliders together. Lay the sweet potato slices out on a plate and top with red onion, Tzatziki, chicken, more Tzatziki, and a slice of cherry tomato. Serve the rest of the yogurt and cucumber mixture on the side because it's absolutely delicious and you're going to want to dive into it with a spoon :)
