    This Chicken Caprese Burger is the new favorite burger at our house. A grilled chicken burger topped with melty mozzarella, tomato, basil and a flavorful balsamic mayo. It’s a must try burger this summer.

    I’ve teamed up with Cache Valley Creamery to create this fantastic Chicken Caprese Burger. Cache Valley Creamery has been producing great cheeses for over 75 years.

    I used two of their flavorful cheeses in this recipe–their finely shredded Six Cheese Italian cheese in the burger and slices of their Mozzarella to top the burger.

    My daughter doesn’t care for ground beef, so this burger starts with ground chicken. Then I mix in bacon, bacon grease, lemon pepper seasoning, and Cache Valley Six Cheese Italian cheese so the chicken is flavorful, stays juicy and doesn’t fall apart.

    The chicken cooks pretty quickly on the grill, but be sure and pre-heat the grill so you’ll get some great grill marks. You’ll also want to have your Mozzarella sliced and ready to use so you don’t overcook the burgers.

    These Chicken Caprese Burgers are the new favorite burger at our house. A grilled chicken burger topped with melty mozzarella, tomato, basil and a flavorful balsamic mayo. It's a must try burger this summer.

    Cache Valley dairy products are sold at retailers throughout Utah, including Walmart, Smith’s, Macey’s, Fresh Market, Harmon’s and more. I grew up eating Cache Valley cheese and still love it today.

    If you aren’t in Utah, substitute your favorite local cheese. But don’t let grilling season end without trying this burger!

    Ingredients

    • ½ pound of bacon
    • 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
    • ½ Cup Cache Valley Six Italian shredded cheese
    • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
    • 6 slices Cache Valley Mozzarella cheese
    • 6 hamburger buns
    • 1 large tomato
    • Lettuce Leaves
    • Fresh basil leaves cut into strips

    Balsamic Mayo

    • ⅓ cup olive oil mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon pepper

    Instructions

    • Prepare balsamic mayo: mix together all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
    • Fry the bacon until crisp but not crumbly. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
    • In a large bowl, combine the reserved bacon fat, ground chicken, bacon, Six Cheese Italian cheese, and lemon pepper. Form into 6 patties the size of your buns.
    • Grill the burgers, turning once, for about 10 minutes until the center of the burgers is 165 degrees. Just before the burgers are done, toast the buns on the grill or under the broiler.
    • Turn off the grill and top each burger with slices of Mozzarella cheese. When cheese is melted, remove from the grill.
    • Place a lettuce leaf on each bun bottom, top with a burger, a slice of tomato, additional salt and pepper if desired, and basil. Spread balsamic mayo on the top half of the bun and place on top of tomato.

      Yes please….and thank you. Every once in a while we enjoy a switch out from the usual burger. I love new ideas for chicken burgers and this one looks like a winner. I mean really, how can you go wrong with chicken and bacon? And that mayonnaise sounds delicious.
