1
Start by grilling your vegetables.
-
2
In a large bowl, toss your sliced zucchini, squash, and eggplant with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
-
3
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
4
Place your vegetables on a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
-
5
Cook the zucchini and summer squash for about 4 minutes on each side or until tender.
-
6
The eggplant rounds will need a little extra love.
-
7
Grill them for about 8 minutes on each side.
-
8
Place the grilled vegetables on a plate and set aside until ready to use.
-
9
Moving on to the fire roasted tomato sauce.
-
10
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
-
11
When hot, add the onions and garlic.
-
12
Saute for 2-3 minutes until the onions soften and the garlic becomes fragrant.
-
13
Add the diced fire roasted tomatoes, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
-
14
Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.
-
15
Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
-
16
Pour the sauce into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
-
17
Return the sauce to the saucepan and keep warm until ready to use.
-
18
Now its time to make your burgers.
-
19
Finely mince your chicken breasts using a food processor (or a meat grinder if you happen to have one lying around).
-
20
If youre using a food processor, cut the breasts into 1-inch cubes and pulse it a few times.
-
21
If you dont have a food processor, use a sharp knife to mince the chicken.
-
22
Its pretty easy, plus youll get a little arm workout in.
-
23
In a large bowl, combine minced chicken, diced red bell pepper, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, oregano and fresh ground pepper.
-
24
I suggest doing this with your hands.
-
25
(Kinda gross, but kinda fun.)
-
26
Form the chicken mixture into four evenly sized patties, approximately 1-inch in thickness.
-
27
To cook your burgers, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
-
28
When hot, add the burgers and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
-
29
Remove your burgers from the pan and place them in a baking dish.
-
30
Top each burger with fire roasted tomato sauce and 1 ounce of part-skim mozzarella.
-
31
Place the baking dish under the broiler for about 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
-
32
If you want toasted buns, now would be the time to toast those bad boys.
-
33
Carefully place each chicken parm burger on a bun and top with grilled vegetables.
