Ingredients
  

For the chicken patties

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For assembly

  • 4 100% whole wheat hamburger buns
  • 1 Roma tomato
  • 1/2 cup Hunger Task Force Easy Pizza Sauce
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until combined. Shape into 4-5 equal patties.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  • Spoon about 2 tbsp of sauce over each patty, then top with a slice of mozzarella. Cover the pan for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  • Optional: While the cheese is melting, toast the buns in a separate pan until golden. Or, wait for cheese to melt, remove patties and use the same pan to toast the buns.
  • Place the cheesy chicken patty on the bottom bun, add fresh basil, then top with the other half of the bun.
  • Serve with a side of salad, roasted veggies, or baked sweet potato fries for a balanced meal.
  • Store the chicken patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
