These are the best burgers I have ever made I love the cheesy filling in the middle it really is delicious. My hubby and son could not stop raving about these and I am so glad I found this recipe and tried it as it is a real winner. I served ours with french fries but you can pair it with whatever you like. If you would like to view the original recipe please click here.

This is great very easy recipe for chicken the marinade gives a lovely flavour to the chicken and it turns out wonderfully moist and tender. I served ours over mixed salad greens and it made for a wonderful meal. This would also be a great one to cook on the BBQ when the weather warms up a bit. I marinated mine in the morning to make that night. If you would like to read more reviews or see more photos of this recipe please click here.
