Parmesan Chicken Burgers
Chicken burgers have never been the most interesting items in the burger family, but that changes today. We’re making the tastiest and most Italian-inspired chicken burger patties on earth; when topped with melting mozzarella, marinara sauce and basil, and tucked tightly inside a toasty burger bun, they become a dish in a category of its own.
So Cheesy, So Juicy
We’ll begin with the homemade chicken patties — lean ground chicken, shredded mozzarella, and a dash of marinara sauce form the base, while breadcrumbs will bring everything together. We’re also adding a few caramelized onions and crispy chopped garlic in there just to make the flavors pop. Of course, we can’t forget about traditional Italian dried herbs, mostly aromatic basil, oregano and rosemary. These patties a satisfying meal on their own. But why stop there? With our patties ready, we’ll build the cheesiest burger infused with classic Italian flavors.
