A twist on a regular grilled chicken sandwich, chicken burgers stay juicy and moist throughout, eliminating the chicken breast issue of undercooked thick middles and dried out thin ends. Since boneless breasts have virtually no fat, these don’t cook down in size at all – so make them exactly to whatever bun size you want. [...]
