Chicken Parmesan Burgers

I have never cooked with ground chicken before and was a little nervous about how this recipe would turn out. I was also afraid of my families response to ground chicken burgers.
They turned out looking quite gourmet and the taste was fabulous.

Ingredients:
10 1/2 inch sliced French bread. This is the buns for your burgers
2 slices French bread diced
4 tbls minced basil plus 4 large basil leaves
3/4 cups marinara sauce
12 ounces ground chicken (this makes 4 burgers)
2 tbps extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp grated onion
1/4 tsp salt
4 ounces whole milk mozzarella cheese

Blend diced bread and Parmesan cheese yo fine crumbs
Transfer to pie dish mix in 2 tbls minced basil
Mix marinara and 2 tbls basil in small saucepan
Transfer 1 1/2 tbls sauce to large bowl. Add chicken and 1/2 tsp oil, onion and salt
Sprinkle with pepper
Shape into four patties
Coat with crumb mixture
Heat sauce over low heat
Heat 1 1/2 tbls oil in non stick pan
Cook patties until bottoms are crusty about 4 minutes
Turn and top with cheese
Cook three more minutes
Cover and cook until cheese is melted to desired tenderness
Assemble burgers on toasted French bread
Add marinara, basil leaves and enjoy

My husband loved these so much he had three!
