Ingredients

Rosemary Garlic Mayonnaise

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.5 oz fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Chicken Patties

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup rosemary garlic mayonnaise (from above)

Other Ingredients

  • 4 brioche buns
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 4 slices Muenster cheese
  • Cooking spray, for the skillet

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rosemary garlic mayonnaise: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Make the chicken patties: In a separate bowl, mix the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, and 1/3 cup of the prepared rosemary garlic mayonnaise gently until combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
  3. Cook the burgers: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Cook the chicken patties for 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked internally to 165°F (74°C) and the outsides are golden browned.
  4. Toast the buns and melt cheese: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the brioche buns open-faced on a baking sheet. Top the bottom halves with a slice of Muenster cheese and bake for about 5 minutes until the buns are lightly toasted and the cheese is melted.
  5. Assemble the burgers: Spread the remaining rosemary garlic mayonnaise on the toasted buns. Place each chicken patty on the bottom bun, add a generous handful of arugula on top, then cover with the top bun.
  6. Serve: Serve the burgers immediately while warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • The rosemary garlic mayonnaise adds moisture and flavor to both the patties and the finished burger.
  • Cook chicken patties thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • Substitute brioche buns with whole wheat or gluten-free buns as preferred.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a slice of tomato or red onion to the burger.
  • Make the mayonnaise in advance to allow flavors to develop even more.
