Ingredients
Caprese Chicken Burgers
- 1 pound lean ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon pesto
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tomato cut into thick slices
- 4 lices fresh mozzarella cheese
- 8-12 fresh basil leaves
- 4 Buns gluten-free if needed
Basil Aioli
- 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pesto
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the ground chicken, pesto, salt and pepper with your hands until combined. Form the meat into 4 equal sized patties.
- Preheat grill or skillet to medium high heat. Spray or oil the grates of the grill or the skillet generously. Cook the chicken burgers for approximately 4 minutes per side depending on how thick they are.
- While the burgers are cooking prepare the basil aioli. Whisk together all of the ingredients for the aioli in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- About a minute before the burgers are done, place the buns cut side down on the grill and toast them until lightly brown.
- Assemble the burgers on the toasted buns and top with a slice of fresh mozzarella, a slice of tomato, 2-3 basil leaves, and some of the basil aioli spread on the top half of the bun.
