Grilled Chicken Burger with Strawberry Sauce

So I was browsing through Women's Health magazine (...don't judge me, it just keeps coming to our house!) and stumbled across an article on "How to Make the Perfect Patty," and this particular one caught my eye.




Burger

-1 medium zucchini and 1 medium carrot, peeled, grated and chopped into small pieces
-1 lb lean ground chicken breast
-1/2 cup bread crumbs
-2 tsp. Worcheshire sauce
-1 egg, lightly beaten
-1/3 cup parsley, chopped
-Salt & pepper, to taste


Mix ingredients together in a bowl then form into 6 patties. Brush with olive/vegetable oil. Place burgers on grill and cook 4-5 min per side until cooked through

Sauce


-1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
-2 tbs. brown sugar
-2 cups strawberries, sliced
-1/2 tbs balsamic vinegar
-1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
-1 tbs fresh mint, chopped (I actually just used the dry stuff and sprinkled it over without really measuring)


Warm oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft (about 4 min). Add brown sugar and continue cooking for 2 min. Add strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper and cook for 1 min. Sir in mint and remove from heat.

Assembly
Toast bread (flatbread or naan--I found this neat artisan flatbread at the grocery store made by "flatout" that is like a flatbread burger roll that is connected on one seam) for 1-2 min per side until lightly browned and warm. Line flatbreads with arugula, add burgers, and top with strawberry sauce, then fold bread over burgers.
