While the burgers cook, heat the marinara sauce in the microwave in a heatproof bowl until warm.
4

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bind Your Burgers with Egg 🥚Add one beaten egg per pound of ground chicken to prevent dry, crumbly patties and keep them moist and cohesive throughout cooking.
- Don't Overwork the Meat 🙌Mix ingredients gently with just your fingertips for 30 seconds—overworking creates dense, tough burgers instead of tender, juicy ones.
- Chill Before Cooking ❄️Refrigerate formed patties for at least 30 minutes so they hold their shape better during cooking and develop a perfect crust.
- Toast Your Buns 🍞Lightly butter and toast the hamburger buns in a skillet until golden—this prevents them from getting soggy from the marinara sauce and adds crispy texture.
- Layer Your Toppings Strategically 🧀Place warm mozzarella on the burger while still on the heat, top with marinara, then add fresh basil at the very end so it wilts slightly but stays vibrant and aromatic.
