Ingredients

For the Burgers:

  • 1 large chicken breast or 2 small chicken breasts
  • 2 brioche buns
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 cup neutral oil for frying sunflower, vegetable, or canola oil
  • 2 thick tomato slices for serving
  • 4 gem lettuce leaves for serving

For the Burger Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • handful of fresh basil about 2 tbsp chopped
  • a pinch of salt
  • a pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the mayo, 2 tbsp of parmesan, lemon juice, one minced garlic clove, 2 tbsp of chopped basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a small bowl and mix. This will be the parmesan-basil-garlic aioli burger sauce.
  • Slice the chicken breast in half to create two thinner chicken fillets. You could also use 2 small chicken breast fillets and pound them to an even thinness.
  • Beat the egg with 1 tbsp of parmesan, minced garlic (one clove), and 1 tbsp of chopped basil.
  • Add a tablespoon of parmesan to the breadcrumbs.
  • Set up the breading station: flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Season everything with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Bread the chicken: first through the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs.
  • To a pan over medium-high heat, add 1 cup of oil.
  • When oil is hot, add the breaded chicken and cook until golden on one side (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Then flip and cook on the other side until golden and cooked through (another 4 minutes, although that will depend on how thin/thick your chicken breast fillet is).
  • Remove the cooked chicken breast from the pan to a plate with paper towels or a cooling rack.
  • Toast the buns in a pan for about 2 minutes until golden.
  • Assemble the burgers – toasted bun, chicken, burger sauce, tomato, and lettuce.
