HERB CHICKEN BURGERS
Steps:
- Make the lemon mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and chives. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and set aside until you are ready to assemble your burgers.
- Preheat the grill and add oil: Preheat the grill for direct heat grilling, by turning gas burners to medium-high or spreading charcoal coals so there is direct heat under the grilling grates. The temperature should be 450-500˚F. To make sure the burgers do not stick, dip a clean kitchen towel or some paper towels in oil and use tongs to quickly rub down grill grates. Alternatively, you can spray the grates with spray oil, but be careful of flare-ups.
- Grill the buns: Grill the plain buns for 20 seconds and remove from the grill.
- How to store and reheat leftovers: Leftover chicken burgers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. They reheat really well in the microwave on high for 1 minute.

Steps:
- For the Chicken: Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on the smooth side of each breast. Place in the skillet seasoned side down and cook without disturbing until brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the top side of the chicken and flip. Cook 1 minute over the burner; then transfer the skillet to the oven until chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 6 to 8 minutes more. Place on a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- For the sauce: smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with the salt, and with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Transfer to a blender with the parsley, mint, pepper, lemon zest, and juice. Pulse until coarsely chopped and then slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Pour into a small bowl and adjust seasoning. Deglaze pan with the sauce, if desired, and serve with the chicken.

Tips:

- To make sure the burgers are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the chicken burgers immediately with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and Thousand Island dressing.
