I had a chicken burger recipe in mind when I went to the store, but I forgot the sun-dried tomatoes and the basil....so, plan B was developed when I spotted that jar of pesto in the fridge! These came out reallu good, very moist and lots of flavor, which is sometimes lacking in ground chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken breast (approximate) shopping list
- 2 Tbsp prepared pesto (I used traditional basil, garlic, pine nut, olive oil) shopping list
- 1 clove minced garlic shopping list
- 1/4 cup minced onion shopping list
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan shopping list
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs shopping list
- 1/2 tsp italian seasoning shopping list
- Pinch red pepper flakes shopping list
- salt & pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Combine all ingredients and form into 4 patties.
- Preheat grill or frying pan over medium-high heat (I do like to lightly oil the pan a bit)
- Cook burgers about 4 minutes each side or until cooke dthrough and no longer pink in the middle.
- Garnish as desired - I like to put a l ittle fontina cheese on them for the last minute of cooking. Sliced tomato and a pesto/mayo spread would be nice too!

You have a great burger recipe here Christine! Ground chicken really needs help in the flavor department, and I think the amount of pesto in this really perks it up! I doubled up the recipe with nice results, although I did add more red pepper flak...more
