Mmmm. Italian food on a bun.
We're fans of parmesan chicken. Well, Sean is anyway - I prefer eggplant. With lots of cheese. (To be honest, I'm not much of a meat-eater... I prefer vegetarian foods. But given my lazy nature when it comes to cooking and the fact that I'm generally outnumbered 2:1... making an effort to cook for two different types of dinners in one night is just not going happen! I try to eat as much vegetarian foods for my lunches or when we go out to eat instead. Small sacrifices...)
Our thoughts: YUM! This wasn't too hard to make or very time consuming, and it was pretty tasty too! Definitely something we'll make again!
The recipe originally called for radicchio leaves instead of lettuce. Our local Meijer didn't have it and I wasn't about to drive all over town to find it (which I'm quite sure we wouldn't find anywhere else anyway) so we subbed it for romaine lettuce. Not sure how radicchio tastes, but it seemed just fine to us without.
Parmesan Chicken Burgers - serves 4
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 4 tablespoons of fresh basil, minced, plus extra for the sandwiches
- 3/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- lettuce leaves
Directions:
- Mix together parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and 2 tbsp minced basil in a shallow dish.
- In a small saucepan combine marinara sauce and the last 2 tbsp of minced basil and stir together. Heat rest of sauce on low. Move 1-1/2 tbsp of sauce to a large bowl and combine with chicken, 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, onion, and salt and then sprinkle with pepper and blend. Divide chicken mix into 4 and form half inch thick patties. Coat patties with bread crumb mixture.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Cook patties for about 4 minutes - the bottoms of the patties should be crusty. Flip, and top with fresh mozzarella. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and the cheese is nice and melted.
- Assemble burgers on the bread with lettuce, basil leaves, and top with the warmed marinara sauce, and enjoy!

This was really good. Make sure you have plenty of marinara, because that really makes the burger. I would definitely eat this again!
