Grilled Kung Pao Chicken Burgers – something spicy and deliciously different from the backyard grill. Delicious on grilled flat breads too.
Kung Pao Flatbread Chicken Burger
We practically live off the grill during the summer months and I am always inventing new ways to make a meal on the back deck. While I was making a quick batch of my favorite spicy Kung Pao Chicken it occurred to me to try to make it as a flat-bread burger. As regular readers of this blog will know, we also enjoy making flat-breads on the grill to enjoy with many barbeque meals, so they are once again used here to provide the bread for these delicious, simple and spicy sandwiches. You can find the recipe for those flat-breads here.
