Preparation of Flavorful Chicken Burgers

• Rinse the capers under running water and dry them with kitchen paper. Do this whether you use salted or pickled capers. 

  

• Then coarsely chop them together with the arugula. I used a mezzaluna. 

  

• Place the ground chicken in a large bowl, add the arugula and caper mixture, a generous pinch of salt, a good grind of black pepper, and mix everything together.

  

• Remove the crust from the rustic bread and chop it, then add it to the meat mixture. 

  

• At this point, form the burgers either with the appropriate tool or by pressing the mixture between slightly damp hands. If you wish to purchase a burger press, you can find it online by clicking HERE. It is really convenient and allows us to get burgers that are all the same size. There are so many models at all price ranges.

  

• In a large pan, heat a few tablespoons of oil and sauté a peeled whole garlic clove before adding the burgers.

  

• Cover and brown them for 3/4 minutes. Then turn them over with a spatula, add two sprigs of rosemary and halved cherry tomatoes, and continue cooking for another 3/4 minutes, still covered. When done, they should be golden brown.

  

• Transfer the burgers to the serving plate, top each with a bit of burrata and garnish with some cherry tomato halves from the cooking juices. Finally, lightly salt, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, and serve immediately, piping hot. Enjoy! Paola
