Best healthy chicken burgers ever! A cross between a juicy burger and tasty chicken parmesan, these Italian Chicken Burgers are going to knock your socks off!

Provided by Kim

Categories     Main

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground chicken
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (I used panko breadcrumbs w/ Italian seasoning)
2 cups marinara sauce, divided
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil
4 slices Mozzarella cheese (you can use grated instead, if preferred)
4 hamburger buns
Optional: basil for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup marinara sauce, onion, garlic, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and stir with a large spoon (or mix w/ your hands) until evenly mixed. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Place patties in the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, grill the burgers for 4 minutes per side or until no longer pink.
  • Flip the patties, then immediately pour remaining marinara around them in the pan. Bring marinara to a simmer, reducing heat if the sauce is bubbling too rapidly. Top each patty with mozzarella, then cover pan and cook until cheese melts and chicken burger is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes more.
  • While the chicken is finishing cooking, gently toast buttered hamburger buns in a 350°F oven until buns are warmed through and lightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • To assemble the burgers, spoon extra sauce from the skillet onto the bottom halves of the burger buns and place burgers on top. Garnish with basil and top with remaining bun halves. Serve immediately and enjoy!

NATASHA'S CHICKEN BURGERS



Natasha's Chicken Burgers image

Natasha is my eldest daughter, and her eyes light up when I announce we're having these for dinner. While my husband and I eat 1 or 2 each, she easily finishes at least 3! The onion can be finely chopped, but with three kids, we prefer grating it so as to hide it. I usually serve these with mashed potatoes and Caesar salad for a very comforting meal! Extra-lean ground chicken can be substituted with ground turkey with great results.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chicken. Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best results.
  • Season the chicken well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to flavor the chicken.
  • Do not overmix the chicken mixture. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
  • Form the burgers into uniform patties. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will prevent them from burning on the outside and staying raw on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the burgers for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers.

Conclusion:

Italian chicken burgers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a unique and flavorful Italian chicken burger that will be a hit with your family and friends.
