Chicken Mozza Burgers
I decided to try making some chicken burgers that are coated in herbed Italian breadcrumbs to give them a crispy texture. These burgers are a lighter version of a beef burger but still full of flavour, especially when you top them with some roasted red pepper sauce and mozzarella cheese - YUM!
Chicken Mozza Burgers
- 2 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp dried basil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh Oregano
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Topping
- 1 cup roasted red pepper sauce (jarred or homemade)
- 16 thick slices Mozzarella cheese
- 8 burger buns
Directions
- Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Mix together just until all the ingredients are combined - do not overwork the meat.
- Spread the meat mixture into the bottom tray of a Burger Master and press lid on top to make 8 perfect quarter pound portions or form patties by hand to desired size.
- Cook the patties either on the grill or in a heavy bottomed pan on medium heat (heat 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the pan before adding the patties).
- Top the patties with sauce and 2 slices mozzarella 1 minute before removing from heat.
- Enjoy!
