DIRECTIONS

Place chicken in a large bowl and add in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, egg, and breadcrumbs. Form meat in to 4 equal size oval patties and place indentation in center of burger. (Oval patties will fit better in long french bread)

Pan fry the patties in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat for approximately 5-6 minutes. Flip the burgers. Add shallots to pan and cook the burgers another 3-4 minutes. Top burgers with cooked shallots, ham and cheese and let cook another 2 minutes or until cheese has melted. Add freshly ground pepper on top of cheese.

Mix together the mustard, vinegar and the mayonnaise. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Reserve half of spread for dipping Pomme Frittes.

Spread mustard mixture on inside top of bread. Place burgers in bread.
