Chicken Pesto Smashed Burgers |
Burgers are inherently quick to prepare, but this technique manages to speed up the process even more. Ground chicken is divided into four portions, then rolled into large meatballs. They're seasoned all over with salt and pepper, placed in a super hot pan and flattened with a spatula into thin patties. Known as "smashing," this creates maximum surface area for the meat to brown so every bite has some crispiness — and of course gives the burger its signature name. Get the recipe! |
