I'm always looking for new sandwiches for lunch and it's great when I can find a deliciously tasty gluten free one that I can share with my daughter. Whipping up this Spicy Chicken Burger with Sriracha Aioli turned out to be the smartest thing I have done so far this year.
I made these burgers for dinner last night and my husband just flipped over them. He said it was one of the best chicken burgers he has ever had! And he loved the aioli! Of course, the Udi's® Gluten Free Delicious Multigrain Sandwich Bread must have had something to do with that.
Udi's Gluten Free Breads are game changers. The bread is surprisingly hearty and has the soft texture of standard bread. It's also one of the first gluten free breads where the slice is the perfect size for sandwiches. Yay! It's a 30% larger slice on their 24 oz loaves and mirrors conventional sandwich bread.
I found the Multigrain Bread in the freezer section at my local Publix. I love that it's frozen as I can take out what I want as I need it without worrying that the loaf will get stale before I can use it all up. I found they also offer a White Sandwich Bread, Ancient Grain Omega Flax & Fiber Bread, Ancient Grain Millet-Chia Bread as well as a Rye Style Bread. All are gluten free as well as dairy and nut free.
This year it's time to renew my commitment to good eating habits and exercise. This sandwich helps by offering a low-fat, high protein option with ground chicken, avocado for good fats, sprouts for folates, vitamins and fiber and Udi's Gluten Free bread with 8 grams of whole grains per serving as well as vitamins and minerals. It's the perfect lunch to refuel after my morning exercise or give me the energy for an afternoon run.
Here's what you need to make this recipe.

They're so good and super healthy too with the avocado and sprouts. It's fun to let the family build their own and give them a lot of options to suit their taste. It makes dinner go down a lot easier.
