Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 to 2 fresh tomatoes sliced
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • a handful fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat
  • Make the balsamic glaze: place the balsamic vinegar into a saucepan and bring the balsamic to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and cook (stirring occasionally) until it has reduced by half - about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Crush the garlic with a garlic crusher or the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Form the ground chicken into 4 burgers.
  • Brush each burger with the olive oil and garlic mixture
  • Sear the burgers on medium-high heat on one side for a minute, reduce the heat to medium and grill the burgers for approximately 6 minutes on each side or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 165.
  • Remove the burgers from the grill and top each one with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
  • Top each burger with a tomato slice, and chopped basil leaves, and drizzle 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over the top.

Notes

Cook the Burgers in a Skillet:
These burgers can easily be cooked on top of the stove in a skillet. Here's how:
Pre-heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil
Place the burgers that have been brushed with oil and garlic in a pan
Cook for 7 minutes and flip. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes longer until the burger reaches an internal temperature of 165.
