We love chicken Parmesan and thought, "Why not make it a burger?" I like to use fresh mozzarella on these. I've also made the patties with ground turkey.

Ingredients

4 slices Italian bread (3/4 inch thick)
2 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut in half
1 cup meatless spaghetti sauce, divided
1 pound lean ground chicken
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tbsp. minced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

Method

01

In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick oval patties.
02

Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165℉. Top burgers with 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce and cheese. Cover and grill 30-60 seconds longer or until cheese is melted.
03

Grill bread, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 30-60 seconds on each side or until toasted. Top with remaining spaghetti sauce. Serve burgers on toasted bread.
04

Freeze option: Place patties on a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet; wrap and freeze until firm. Remove from pan and transfer to an airtight freezer container; return to freezer. To use, grill frozen patties as directed, increasing time as necessary for a thermometer to read 165℉.
