How to Make Chicken Quinoa Burgers for Fat Loss or Hardgainer / Hamburguesa de Pollo y Quinua

Cook quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.

Slice up veggies: spinach, tomato, red onions, garlic, and bell pepper.

For the hard gainer version, slice the sweet potato into large pieces.

Place sweet potato pieces on a baking rack and bake for 30 minutes at 405°F.

For the lean body version, remove stems from portabella mushroom caps and clean the inside with a spoon.

Spray the inside of the mushroom caps with coconut oil.

Place the mushroom caps on a baking rack and bake for 7 minutes at 405°F.

In a bowl, mix together ground chicken, cooked quinoa, spinach, bell peppers, egg, seasonings (cumin, sea salt, pepper), and goat cheese.

Form the mixture into patties of desired size.

Cook the patties in a skillet or on the grill until fully cooked.

Assemble the lean body burger using portabella mushroom caps or the hard gainer burger using sweet potato.
