Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 Burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Top each cooked patty with a slice of mozzarella cheese, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the cheese melt for about 1-2 minutes.
While the patties are cooking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Optional: Lightly toast the burger buns. Spread a small amount of butter on each bun half and toast in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a chicken patty on top, then add 2 fresh basil leaves. Spread additional marinara sauce over the basil if desired, then finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve the Chicken Parmesan Burgers immediately. Enjoy!
