Notes

Nutrition information is for the chicken patty only and does not include the roasted vegetables.
Storage: You can keep the burgers and veggies in air-tight containers in the fridge for up 5 days. Or, freeze the burgers for up to 3 months. 
Chicken: This has to be lean white meat! Dark meat ground chicken is far too fatty.
