Grinding chicken thighs for this burger, rather than using the already-ground chicken, gives the best flavour and texture. A Caprese salad topping of Bocconcini cheese, tomatoes and basil adds a fresh kick.
Ingredients
- 4 slices Canadian bocconcini cheese, (one 4-oz/125 g ball)
- 1 plum tomato, sliced
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- 4 hamburger buns
- Patties:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 onion, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 2 tbsp oil packed sun dried tomatoes
- 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
Preparation
Patties: In food processor, pulse chicken until coarsely ground; set aside.
In large bowl, beat egg with water; stir in onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, salt and pepper. Mix in chicken. Shape into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties.
