Turn this classic Italian dish into a succulent saucy burger for the perfect summer meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs

  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 450 g ground chicken

  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 3/4 tsp garlic salt

  • 1 1/2 cups canola oil

  • 4 slices mozzarella, cheese

  • 4 brioche burger buns, split and toasted

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauces

  • 8 large basil leaves

Instructions

  • Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Pour panko into a second shallow bowl. Spread flour out on a small plate.

  • Combine chicken with cheese, onion powder and garlic salt in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Divide into 4 portions, then roll each into a ball.

  • One ball at a time, roll in flour, then press into a 3 1/2-in.-wide patty. Coat in egg; shake off excess. Coat in panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat.

  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add enough oil to reach 1/4 in. up the side of pan (about 1 1/2 cups).

  • Add 2 patties to hot oil. Fry until golden-brown, 3 to 4 min per side. Transfer to a papertowel-lined platter and top with a cheese slice.

  • Repeat with remaining patties. (If patties are getting too browned, reduce heat.)

  • Layer bottom buns with patties, then marinara sauce and basil. Sandwich with top bun. Serve immediately.
