Chicken Parm Burger with Salad

Step 1

In a bowl, add the ground chicken, bread crumbs, parmesan, egg & Italian seasoning (optional). Season generously with salt & pepper. With clean, dampened hands, mix to combine & form patties, about 3-4 inches in width.

Step 2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties to the pan & cook undisturbed for 5-7 min per side, until fully cooked (165°F internal temp). Spoon half the marinara on top of the patties & sprinkle with mozzarella. Turn off the heat, cover the pan & let sit for 3-4 min, until the cheese melts.

Step 3

Toast the buns (optional). Warm the remaining marinara & spread it on the bottom bun. Layer a patty on top. Top with fresh basil, if using. Serve with a side salad, dressed to your liking.
