As the weather begins to warm up, I try to take as much of our cooking outside to keep the house cool. That means it's time to fire up the grill. These diabetic friendly chicken burgers are full of flavor and simply delicious. Instead of using a bun, I serve these with a side of avocado corn salsa or roasted veggies that I have in my refrigerator just waiting to be cooked. Cut them up so their bite size and toss in a little olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Then simply pour them in a grill safe pan that keeps them from falling through the cracks and place on your grill to cook.
