Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lbs Ground Chuck Beef 80% lean / 20% fat
  • 4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Pepper
  • 2 Sticks Celery
  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • Blue Cheese
  • Ranch Dressing
  • Buffalo Sauce
  • 4 Hamburger Buns

Instructions
 

Shredded Chicken

  • Get a skillet or pan with lid that is large enough for your chicken. Put some oil in the pan and set heat to med-high.
  • Salt and pepper chicken and add to hot pan. Cook for 5 min until golden brown on one side.
  • Flip chicken and add water to cover the chicken. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes (cook to 160 deg).
  • Remove chicken and allow it too cool a bit before shredding. You can use a couple of forks to do this and pull it apart with the grain of the chicken.
  • You can save the chicken for later in the fridge or move on to the burger.

Burger

  • Cut up celery into medium thin slices.
  • Get your grill/pan/etc hot.
  • Salt & pepper the ground beef and then divide into 8oz (1/2 lb) portions (or you can use smaller 6oz portions). Flatten into patties that are about 1/2 inch larger than the buns.
  • Put a thumbprint in the middle of the patty so it doesn’t puff up when cooking.
  • Grill your burgers about 4min on the first side.
  • Flip burgers. Put the buns face down on the grill. Cook until you reach the correct temp (140F for medium), usually about 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Mix chicken in skillet/pot with buffalo sauce and if needed heat for a couple of minutes.
  • Put the burger on the bun, top with chicken, then ranch, then blue cheese crumbles, and finally the celery!
