I’ve often found chicken burgers to be a bit bland, and I find that the addition of marinara sauce, mozzarella and fresh basil leaves is a great way to liven up a boring burger. Plus it keeps the kids happy which always makes me happy too! Here’s a top tip when making burger patties – wet your hands so that the mixture is less sticky!
