We switched up our basic burger recipe last night and tried something a bit healthier and a whole lot tastier. We recreated a classic cheeseburger experience with a twist: ground chicken paired with sautéed mushrooms, onion, and garlic to form flavorful patties, and then they’re topped with tomato and cheese and baked to gooey perfection.
Our family thinks these patties taste better than burgers, and they don’t need buns or extra condiments! This recipe’s definitely a new favorite in our house. These cheesy tomato-topped chicken burgers are easy to make and incredibly satisfying, and they’re a delicious way to sneak in some extra veggies.
