Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 cup Dry Marsala wine
• 0.25 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 4 slices Provolone cheese
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 1 cup Arugula

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the patties from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and slightly browned.

Step 5

Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the butter until melted and well incorporated, then return the chicken patties to the pan. Spoon the Marsala sauce and mushrooms over the patties to coat them in flavor. Cook for 1-2 minutes more.

Step 7

Place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid for 1 minute, or until the cheese has melted.

Step 8

Toast the burger buns if desired. Assemble the burgers by placing the arugula on the bottom bun, followed by the chicken patty with cheese and Marsala mushrooms. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Chicken Marsala Burgers!
