I’m having loads of fun exploring burgers this week and actually, so is my husband Filippo! Today we’re using another alternate protein, chicken. I wanted to create a hearty burger that would satisfy a big manly appetite or even a teenage boy who loves his big meaty burgers.
So after some experimenting I settled on a ground chicken burger stuffed with a mixture of fresh rosemary, sundried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. I can guarantee this burger will satisfy even the pickiest beef burger lover. It’s hearty like beef, not at all dainty in flavor and pairs perfectly with a chill beer.
If you wanted, these chicken patties could be served as a main dish with a salad or veggies on the side. Definitely serve the onion mustard sauce on the side or topping the patties; it really adds another dimension of flavor!
