Ingredients

  • 115 g Ground Chicken

  • 1–2 tbsp Breadcrumbs

  • 1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese

  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper, to taste

  • ½ Clove Garlic, minced (optional)

  • 1 tsp Olive Oil (for cooking)

  4. Spread pesto on the bottom half of the bun.
  5. Place the lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the chicken patty.
  6. Top the patty with four slices of Pizza Mozzarella, then add the tomato and red onion slices.
