Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon marinara sauce
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (for coating patties)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
  • 6 round bread rolls (cut in half)
  • 6 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 to 1 cup marinara sauce
  • arugula (optional)

Instruction

  • Place all the ingredients for the chicken patties in a medium size bowl, excluding the last 2 ingredients. Mix everything together until well incorporated. This mixture should make 6 patties, so divide the mixture equally into 6 and form them into 3 or 4 inch patties.
  • Add the 1 cup of breadcrumbs to a shallow plate and dredge the chicken patties through the breadcrumbs.
  • Add 1 tbsp of the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium high heat. You'll have to do this in 2 batches, so add 3 of the patties to the skillet and cook on both sides for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken patties to a plate and set aside. Add the remaining tbsp of olive oil to the skillet and continue frying the last 3 patties.
  • Top each chicken patty with 2 tbsp or 3 tbsp of marinara sauce, and a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese. Place the patties on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for 2 minutes or until the cheese is starting to melt.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by adding some arugula to the bottom of the bun, then a chicken patty and then the top of the bun. Serve while patties are warm.
