Ingredients

  • 4 Tre Stelle Bocconcini balls halved
  • 2 lbs ground chicken preferably thigh meat
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped sundried tomatoes around 4 from a jar with oil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • optional garnishes: micro greens lettuce, quick pickled red onion (let sit in red wine vinegar for 5-10 min), grainy mustard with 1 tsp of honey in it)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl combine chicken, garlic, basil, sundried tomatoes, olive oil, pepper, and salt (I use my hands to mix it all up).
  2. Using about 2 tbsp of meat mixture, form a small patty shape and place one halved Bocconcini piece in the middle, top with another 2 tbsp of meat mixture and form a burger, ensuring the cheese is well covered by the meat (otherwise the cheese will ooze out of the burger while cooking, and we want that delicious melty cheese parked right in the centre of the burger).
  3. Heat a skiller or the grill to medium heat. Cook the burger about 5-8 minutes per side, checking frequently to prevent overcooking.
