Chicken Parmesan Burgers

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
A restaurant-quality burger that’s topped with marinara and loaded with cheese—what’s not to love? Fresh basil adds even more flavor if you'd like. —Brooke Petras, Alpine, California

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped or shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 4 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, optional

Directions

  • 1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup marinara sauce with chopped mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, seasonings and onion mixture. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. With wet hands, shape mixture into four 1/2-in.-thick patties.
  • 3. In the same skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Cook burgers until a thermometer reads 165°, 4-5 minutes on each side. Top with sliced mozzarella cheese; cook, covered, until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.
  • 4. Serve on buns; top with remaining 1/2 cup marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese and, if desired, basil leaves.
