Not in the mood for a beef burger tonight? No worries, we've got you covered! These chicken pesto burgers will satisfy all of your cravings, and the best part is... they're super easy to make!
Instructions
- Using the AKORN, I chose the adjustable grate. Other grills would be set up for direct heat.
- Heat grill to 400-450
- Grill the chicken breasts direct heat 2 minutes per side. At max of 3 on the flip side.
- We want to ensure internal temperature of 165 and not dry them out (they will be thin and cook quick).
Tip: you may put whatever toppings you like on your basil chicken pesto burger. I do recommend provolone as the cheese and pesto, however.
