Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Refried beans
• 0.5 cup Salsa (mild or spicy based on preference)
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Jalapeño slices
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of refried beans on the top of each cooked patty.

Step 5

Spoon a generous amount of salsa over the refried beans, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 6

Preheat your oven's broiler. Place the assembled patties on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 7

Slice the burger buns in half and butter the insides. Toast the buns in a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on the bottom half of each bun. Add the prepared chicken patty with melted cheese, followed by a few slices of jalapeño (if desired for extra heat). Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexican Style Chicken Parmesan Burger!
