Easy Parmesan Chicken Burgers

Forget dry, boring chicken burgers—these juicy, homemade chicken burgers feature tender ground meat combined with parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and a simple seasoning mixture. The ultra juicy patties are topped with fennel-arugula slaw and an herbed aioli. Truly the best chicken burger recipe!
These easy parmesan chicken burgers are juicy and tender, with an Italian-leaning flavor that I love. They’re made with ground chicken (or you can use turkey, but I prefer chicken here), granulated garlic, Italian seasonings, parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs (gluten-free for me), and an egg.
The burgers are served with herbed aioli and a zippy arugula and fennel slaw—the combination of the crunchy bright slaw with the creamy sauce and juicy burger is sublime. You should start by making the aioli, which can be refrigerated for 3 days before serving.
This recipe is great for a busy weeknight (it’s ready in 30 minutes!), but also makes a fun weekend meal. You can serve them on a toasted bun or in a lettuce wrap–customize them to your tastes!
