Basil Chicken Burgers with Pesto Mayonnaise


This recipe was in the newest issue of Family Fun magazine.

1 1/2 lb. ground chicken

3/4 C grated cheddar cheese

salt and pepper

1/3 C mayonnaise

2 T pesto

Line a medium baking sheet with plastic wrap and set aside/. In a large mixing bowl combine: chicken, cheese, salt and pepper, until evenly blended.Add the mayo and pesto. Shape the meat into 6 patties. Place on the baking sheet cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, burgers with be very loose. Prepare the grill and make the basil mayo. ( 1/2 C mayonnaise, 2 T pesto mix and refrigerate). Brush one side of the burgers with oil and place on the grill, lightly oil other side of the patty. Cook until meat is no longer pink inside. Serve with the basil mayonnaise. I added an extra slice of cheese to each burger.
