• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 25 minutes

Ingrédients

1 pound lean ground chicken

1 tablespoon pesto

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

1 tomato (cut into thick slices)

4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese

8-12 fresh basil leaves

4 buns (gluten-free if needed)

1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 1/2 teaspoons pesto

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl combine the ground chicken, pesto, salt and pepper with your hands until combined. Form the meat into 4 equal sized patties.

Preheat grill or skillet to medium high heat. Spray or oil the grates of the grill or the skillet generously. Cook the chicken burgers for approximately 4 minutes per side depending on how thick they are.

While the burgers are cooking prepare the basil aioli. Whisk together all of the ingredients for the aioli in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

About a minute before the burgers are done, place the buns cut side down on the grill and toast them until lightly brown.

Assemble the burgers on the toasted buns and top with a slice of fresh mozzarella, a slice of tomato, 2-3 basil leaves, and some of the basil aioli spread on the top half of the bun.
