Chicken Ricotta Bacon Burger
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
For the burgers:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped
- 4 slices good bacon, minced fine
- ¾ cup ricotta cheese
- Juice and some zest from 1 lemon
- ½ cup chopped parsley
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Brioche burger buns
For the spicy aioli:
- ½ cup good mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (or to taste) hot sauce of your choice, such as sriracha or chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
For garnish:
- Arugula, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onion
Instructions
- Add all burger ingredients (except the buns, of course) to food processor. Pulse until properly blended. Do not over blend.
- From with your hands into 4 large or 8 slider-size burgers. Saute or grill for a few minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.
- Mix together the mayonnaise and the hot sauce to make the aioli.
- To assemble, toast the buns, spread with 1/2 tablespoon aioli on the bun, add arugula and then top with the burger. Place another 1/2 tablespoon aioli directly on the burger, and top with the sliced tomatoes and red onion.
Notes
TIP: The burger patties freeze well, so you can make a large batch ahead of time.
