Ingredients | Chicken Pesto Burger Recipe

1 pound ground chicken

1 egg

½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons tomato paste, divided

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1 cup crushed tomatoes

1 cup chicken stock

4 slices provolone cheese

4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split

Directions

Combine chicken, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into 4 patties. Press gently to flatten.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Cook patties until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.

Cook and stir onion in the drippings left in the skillet until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and chicken stock. Cook until thickened and reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Return patties to the skillet; cover with tomato sauce. Place 1 slice of provolone cheese over each patty. Cover skillet and cook until cheese melts slightly, about 1 minute.

Place patties on buns; spoon tomato sauce on top.

If you don't want to make the tomato mixture, you can use your favorite spaghetti sauce and just pour over burgers.
