Time 1h15m

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups white wine, preferably Pinot Grigio
1/2 large sweet onion, finely diced
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
3/4 pound ground chicken breast
3/4 pound ground chicken thighs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
12 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry of all liquid
3 ounces grated Swiss cheese
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
Olive oil
6 sourdough rolls, split horizontally
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices beefsteak tomato

Steps:

  • Put wine, onion and garlic into medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce until about 2 tablespoons of liquid is remaining. Pour reduced wine mixture into shallow pie plate and let cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl, place ground chicken meat, salt, pepper, mustard, spinach, grated Swiss, bread crumbs and cooled wine mixture. Gently combine (do not over mix!) and form into 6 patties.

Flip burgers over, close lid, cook for about 6 more minutes. Brush both sides of rolls with olive oil, place on grill, place 1 slice Swiss on each burger and close lid for about 30 seconds. Check rolls and remove when golden brown. Remove burgers as soon as cheese melts a little. Place patties on rolls, top with tomato slices and serve.

Flip burgers over, cover pan and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes more or until juices run clear. Top with Swiss and replace cover until cheese melts. Buns can be browned under the broiler.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons shallots, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen cut-leaf spinach, thawed, drained

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

Tips:

  • For the perfect burger, use a blend of ground beef and ground pork. The pork adds flavor and helps to keep the burgers moist.
  • Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
  • Season the meat with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. A simple combination of garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano is always a good choice.
  • Form the meat into patties that are about 1/2 inch thick. Make sure the patties are evenly shaped so that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare burgers, cook to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium burgers, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings. Some classic choices include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.

Chicken Florentine burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a burger that is both flavorful and satisfying.
