Ingredients
1 lb. ground chicken
1/4 c. grated Parmesan
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. torn basil leaves, plus more for garnish
1/2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
5 thick slices fresh mozzarella
5 slicing tomatoes
1 c. baby spinach
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Preparation
Step 1In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, garlic, basil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then form mixture into 5 small patties, about the same size as your tomatoes. Step 2In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add patties and cook until seared on bottom, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly seared, about 4 minutes, then top with mozzarella. Cover skillet and cook until cheese has melted and chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Step 3Slice tomatoes in half (NOT through the stem end). Season bottom tomato halves with salt and pepper. Top with baby spinach, burgers, and basil, then drizzle with balsamic glaze. Top with remaining tomato halves.
