Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chicken, 3 cloves of minced garlic, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, ½ cup of breadcrumbs, ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together with your hands until well combined, but be careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each one into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
- Place the patties on a plate and cover them with plastic wrap. Let them chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps firm them up and enhances the flavors.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface. Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast your burger buns on the grill or skillet for added texture and flavor.
- Place each chicken patty on a toasted bun and top with your favorite toppings. I love adding lettuce, tomato, and a drizzle of garlic aioli or mayonnaise for an extra kick.
