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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a toaster or on the skillet, if desired.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as a salad, fries, or roasted vegetables.
