Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise or pesto (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the burgers are golden brown.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of fresh mozzarella on top of each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a toaster or on the skillet, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise or pesto (if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Add the cooked chicken patty, a slice of tomato, and 2 basil leaves. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as a salad, fries, or roasted vegetables.
