Equipment

Ingredients

For the Sun Dried Tomato Aioli

¾ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 large garlic clove, grated
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the Chicken Burgers

1 pound ground chicken
¼ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

For Topping

4 hamburger buns
4 slices mozzarella cheese
Arugula

Instructions

In a medium bowl, add mayonnaise, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, parmesan cheese, italian seasoning, and basil. Stir to combine, then cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Preheat your grill to 425 degrees F.
Prepare the chicken burgers by adding ground chicken, sun dried tomatoes, garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix until just combined.
Form the ground chicken mixture into 4 hamburger patties.
Place patties on the grill. Cover the grill and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes without touching the burgers. When ready to flip, the patties should lift from the grill pretty easily and have set grill marks.
Flip the burgers and cook the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
In the last minute or two of cooking, add a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each burger and cook until melted. Remove from heat.
Optional: Grill the buns, flat-side down, for about 2 to 3 minutes to toast.
To assemble: Place a chicken burger on top of each bottom bun. Spoon some of the aioli on the top bun. Place a handful of arugula on top of the chicken burger, then quickly add the top bun on top of the burger to keep the arugula in place.

Notes

The longer the aioli sits in the refrigerator, the more the flavors will shine through. If you'd like to make the sauce ahead of time, you can make it up to 5 days ahead of serving.
