Vegetable-Infused Chicken Burgers

McDonald's Japan Unveiled Its New Vegetable and Chicken Patty

In an effort to get kids to eat their veggies, McDonald's Japan has added some extra ingredients to its classic chicken burger. Providing parents and children with a healthier menu option, the new hybrid patties are made from mixed vegetables and chicken.

The grilled patties contain a blend of chicken that has been mixed with a combination of edamame, corn and carrots. The patty is then topped with lettuce, tomato and a bakery-style bun. The vegetable-infused chicken burgers also feature a special sauce, made from onion, tomato and paprika. If requested, the combo version of this burger can include a side salad of purple cabbage, corn and red pepper, topped with a zesty basil sauce.

The new vegetable-infused patty is a great option for children who love chicken burgers, but may not be willing to indulge in veggies as often as they should.
