  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀

  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs 🍞

  • 1 egg 🥚

  • 1 tsp garlic powder 🧄

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder 🧅

  • 1/2 tsp salt 🧂

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper 🌶️

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 🌿 (optional)

🧄 For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter 🧈

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream 🥛

  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀

  • Salt & pepper to taste 🧂🌶️

  • Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a kick 🌶️

🍔 For Assembly:

  • 4 brioche buns or buns of choice 🍞

  • 1 cup arugula or spinach 🥬

  • Sliced tomatoes 🍅

  • Garlic aioli or mayo (optional for extra garlic lovers!) 🧄

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan and whisk until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using. Set aside.

2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken Patties

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 4 patties and create a small indent in the center of each to prevent bulging.

3️⃣ Cook the Patties

Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat and lightly grease. Cook patties for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 75°C). In the last minute, place a slice of cheese on each patty and let it melt.

4️⃣ Toast the Buns

While the patties rest for a minute, lightly toast your burger buns for that golden crunch.

5️⃣ Assemble the Burgers

Spread garlic aioli or mayo on the buns (if using). Layer with arugula or spinach, cheesy chicken patty, a spoonful or two of garlic Parmesan sauce, tomato slices, and top with the bun.
