Chicken Parm Burgers | Food Wishes

[@delavidaebella]

"The longer we live, the more chicken parm burgers we get to eat." And just like that, you've replenished my will to live.

[@calistogauva707]

I just had a flash back to high school of discovering your channel, had never cooked more than a box of pasta at the point in life. I am 34 now and an Executive Super Yacht Chef traveling the world and making unbelievably pretentious and incredible food. Yet, still watch all your videos and when I cook for myself it’s in your style every single time 💯. Genuinely believe I’ve watched every video you’ve released since, it’s like deeply engrained habit. Will most likely try out this recipe out for myself, exactly how you make it, tomorrow….. after I serve the guests a 7 course wine paired meal lmao. Thanks for all you do chef! You’ve inspired a generation!

[@jakematic]

Good for you taking the reins and excelling. I cook similarly, and will be having two slices of American plasticheese between white bread from 28 seconds in the nukerowave soon. Stay strong, it's a young man's game.

[@samanthataylor55]

Anything chef John posts, I immediately watch. I’ve watched every single one over 15 years over and over! Keep em coming!

[@evanward4303]

I made Chef's Pork Carnitas and my only regret was not doubling up the recipe!

[@ei_maj]

Can't wait to make this for my husband! He loves chicken parm. Thanks for the idea

[@RemnantCult]

I have always loved your cadence, chef. You're like a cooking bard. Instead of singing poetry, you're singing recipes.

[@mrmoshpotato]

Yes! 😂

[@mickeylover2006]

That's beautiful

[@M63Tod]

Had this tonight and it was a huge hit! One tip is to leave off the marinara, or most of it, and serve it on the side for dipping. Otherwise the bun can get soggy. This is now on our regular rotation.

[@jakematic]

Quite an upgrade from the lazy version I sometimes make with frozen chicken patties 👍👍

[@epistte]

That's what I have done. Frozen chicken patty, pasta sauce and slices of provolone.

[@jakematic]

​@@epistte yep, think we've all done it. Even in a 9x13 once for a crowd.

[@annbrookens945]

And faux chicken parm is better than NO chicken parm!

[@jakematic]

@@annbrookens945 I've even microwaved it... shhhh tell no one lol

[@adambassett8722]

If your frozen chicken patties are of quality, along with the sauce and cheese, it ain’t bad at all

[@lukethye4439]

AMAZING!!! You're Brilliant!!! We're not worthy, thank you Chef John for showing us the way 🙏

[@321spallc2]

It's a good thing you have a new favorite burger. I was hooked on your chimichurri chicken burger, it was actually getting old Believe it or not, that's how much I made it! needed something new! Can't wait for your new favorite burger. Thank you chef john. You are an inspiration. I've been watching you for about 4 years now. You're the best. Fork don't lie.

[@GuitarTunings33]

My friends and family loved the sandwiches on their untoasted buns. Thank you.

[@swrconstructioninc.1158]

That Looks so good ! I’m going to try is recipe and make them into meatballs and serve with pasta.

[@Gldtr39]

Can’t go wrong with Chicken Parm 👌🏽🔥

[@MrAHCarstensen]

Thank you much, Chef John It's really a joy watching these videos!

[@jerryodell1168]

Looks and sounds wonderfully delicious. Parmesan chicken is a favorite.

[@PatrickKingree]

These were really good! I made another batch and substituteed ranch dressing for the marinara, cheadder cheese for the mozzarella and Olde Thompson bacon seasoning for the seasoning and served it with buffalo sauce.

[@OISaviour]

Beautiful Chef John, you keep getting even better. And kudos to the writers.

[@lauriegelinas257]

Those look absolutely amazing and delicious! Nice to know you can the patties ahead.

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

I'm going to make these chicken parm burgers for dinner tonight using some garlic butter, such a delicious recipe, I can't wait to try. The chicken, the marinara sauce, mozzarella ... absolute perfection. Thank you, Chef John 🍅🧀🍔😊

[@HunterTinsley]

That's not what I was expecting at all from the title and thumbnail. Really cool idea. Looks delicious!

[@jhenniceamorrow5936]

Sounds really yummy! This will be lunch!! Thanks.

[@yadielsotomayor5015]

Making this next week! Although, like every chicken parm recipe I've seen recently, there was no mentioned of parm anywhere. Defenetly adding some when I make it.

[@kindabluejazz]

'Parmigiana' simply means 'from the region of Parma'. In Parma, the dish originated with eggplant, and has always primarily used mozzarella. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese also happens to come from there, which in the US, we tend to call 'parmesan' cheese, which is an anglicization. Americans tend to mistakenly call this dish 'eggplant parmesan', when it really should be 'eggplant Parmigiana' - 'eggplant in the style of Parma' - it really has nothing to do with parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Doing it with chicken instead of eggplant is also largely an Italian-American thing from the 1950s.

[@lafondataylor9184]

As always, Chef John presents the perfect ingredient merger for a delicious Chicken Parm burger. Thank you for another recipe!!

[@kl8132]

What a brilliant idea. I'm gonna have to try this. I love chic parm in all its creations. Thanks Chef John 🙂

[@coolcanoechic]

Oh boy! That looks tasty! I wonder why you only used mozzarella? No parmesan?

[@AlRoderick]

Chicken parmesan is named after the region of Parma, as is the cheese. However, the recipe for chicken parmesan doesn't actually include any parmesan cheese.

[@jeffreycarlson1523]

Just finished putting one of these bad boys in my belly. So good! I mixed the panko for the coating with some grated Parmesan. Yes, the real and the pure.

[@FuccoTheClown]

you are after all the Chef John of your Chicken Parmesan. :)

[@cval927]

Made this and it was terrific! Nice twist on chicken Parmesan and was a big hit in my household! Thank you Chef John!

[@Lavadx]

This looks amazing, I'll try this later this week. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@rodneywallace4958]

These are soo good! My family loves them.

[@K_P67]

Thanks for the inspiration! Im going to make this as chicken park sliders for Super Bowl, and as always… enjoy

[@nicmoro2979]

Once again Chef John you have taken the ordinary and made it extra ordinary!! 10 out of 10👍👍

[@FlowersInHisHair]

My tummy rumbled audibly at 6:56

[@solemlunam8155]

Trying that today! Thank you Chef John! 🤩

[@relentless3735]

Damp hands make smooth balls, I almost fell backwards in my chair lol Chef Happy New Year to you 🎉🎊

[@craigbrown5359]

Outstanding...you never disappoint!!!

[@tomjefferson1334]

This ones good!!! Rock on Chef John!!!

[@JohnElHanafi]

Always a pleasure to see you pop on my feed chef, John! ~chef John

[@christwining3063]

Awesome idea to add the sauce to the ground meat. Thanks!

[@jimlindemuth6435]

It would be fun to watch a B reel of you in person actually eating the whole thing. Go Chef John.

[@MISTERLeSkid]

Chicken parm is probably my most-often cooked comfort food and you know I of course throw it on a bun as often as I serve it beside some pasta. This is interesting but it's actually more work than breading and frying a traditional cutlet. I'm going to try it though. It does look like it would be a very tasty sammich.

[@deadfr0g]

Always remember, you are the Pepperidge Farm herder of your chicken parm burger.

[@carlfranz6805]

Sigh. You should be ashamed of yourself. 🤣😆🤪👍

[@laurabenson1278]

That's brilliant, and I LOVE chicken parm. I'm going to try that.

[@petermercury]

As an Englishman I can confess we don't really embrace chicken parm like Americans, but this looks so good I'm going to make tomorrow! Good work Sir.

[@Xani13]

A Caesar salad is the perfect side to a chicken-based dish as the two compliment each other most handsomely. Bonus, the salad serves as a palette cleanser between bites of the burger. :D

[@DeniseScala-xp5zq]

Gonna try soon using ground chicken!thanks for the recipe!

[@irishsoxfan34]

I made a whole bunch of meatballs for spaghetti for the fam one night and I had a little bit of leftover meat mixture. I also had some leftover marinara and spaghetti, since I didn't want to just have spaghetti and meatballs again for lunch I brain stormed a bit and a light bulb went off. That's when the spaghetti and meatball smash burger was born. I took some buns and garlic breaded it in the oven. Then I reheat the spaghetti in butter and freshly grated pecorino romano cheese, and then I reheat the marinara. I smashed two patties on the cook top and flipped them when they had a beautiful maillard reaction. Slapped some mozzarella cheese until it melted. Then I assembled the sandwich, bottom bun,first patty, a little marinara, second patty, a little more marinara, rolled a fork full of spaghetti on top of that, and then the top bun. I'd have to say it was one of my greatest creations of all time. Sorry Chief Jon, your delicious looking sandwich reminded me of it and I just had to share. Although I do have to make this cause yum, it does look good.

[@sanni_oluwatimilehin]

Wow, they look so yummy😍 I would try these recipe during my spare time. You are doing an amazing job with this your channel. I would like to share some ideas on how to improve your channel.

[@agent_230]

Out of this world recipe!

[@Sneakers-s5r]

Thank you Chef John!

[@fanboygamer3e]

This is basically a gourmet version of those chicken patties they served in school cafeterias & I am all about it.

[@jeffward1106]

Great work ❤ I'd top that with that Caesar salad you have on the side!

[@jackwebb437]

Hey CJ, I made CP from scratch for Christmas dinner work. It was a hit. I’ll be making this soon.

[@jennalovecraftreeves9679]

Looks scrumptious 🎉

[@Michael-nr2wz]

I've made thousands of these in my old restaurant Chicken, veal, or eggplant..this is delicious My favorite is to sneak some garlic aioli and blue cheese on...for myself of course

[@pandoraeeris7860]

What I like to do is make a big batch of marinara/meat sauce (spaghetti sauce) with mushrooms and zuchini, and about a dozen or so chicken patties very heavily breaded with panko. Then I bake the patties on a very low heat for like 15 or 20 minutes, and put them in tje freezer, and the sauce in the fridge in one of those polycarbonite containers. Then, I've got handmade chicken patties on hand for any number of different types of 'burget' - chicken parm, brie, bleu cheese, roasted peppers, whatever. And I can add whatever sauce I have on hand, whether it's my red sauce, pesto, mayo and dijon, cream cheese, etc. And I like to deep fry those patties. 😋😋😋

[@JohnC.-xf8qz]

Chef John I'm a big fan here. Love my All Recipes site, but since I do all the cooking here I can only blame you for my wife being the foodie that she is. Now I'm going to have to make this burger.

[@derekboardman9995]

When I made chicken parm recently, I used Adam Ragusea's idea to mix my panko with 50% parmesan from his chicken parm nuggets he made recently. I like the garlic bread bun idea.

[@antrey5142]

Raise your birds in salute to chef John. My lady’s favorite food is chicken parm. I’ll be making these this weekend.

[@gerardineberry6161]

Thank you Chef John for all the postings of new foods to try. I think I'm going to try this with fresh chicken thighs like you suggest❤❤❤😊 keep on posting and enjoy!!😊😊

[@dustinabono171]

Definitely gonna try this! Thank you

[@timwood5143]

Nice one Chef John. Definitely making this one this week

[@brentonforsyth1548]

That "damp hands make smooth balls" though lol 😂😂👌

[@aaronritzenthaler]

You should do a Schwanns truck pizza burger knock off. I’ve tried making it a couple of times, can never get the greasiness of my childhood I remember.

[@marilynturcotte5304]

Been add to my collection!

[@TheKiakiraly]

A recipe I would actually do, well done!

[@mrjaxthecat]

Brilliant!!!! Making this tomorrow! Yum YUM YUM!!

[@cattunger]

Well, now I'm interested to see Chef John's take on a pork burger. They were pretty common in my home state.

[@jbthor9032]

Chef John. That looks good. I'll give it a whirl sometime. 👍 Also d o you have a recipe for breaded pork cutlets? I bet you do. I have enjoyed watching you channel for as many years that you have been doing this. 👍👍👍

[@Gerisheng]

Wow this looks so good! I am doing this.

[@evilish888]

Me thinks ground turkey would work a treat as well and save food processor clean-up bc after all, I am the shortcut pro when it comes to reducing clean up after the show

[@cptcosmo]

OMG. Heaven, I'm in heaven. There goes my diet. Thanks chef. LOL

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

I like a whole-milk, low-moisture mozz... which in my locality, means I HAVE to buy the pre-grated kind. But since it's the Sargento brand, which doesn't go crazy with the anti-caking agents, I have no issue with using it. Sargento's the closest you're gonna get to a "great pre-grated cheese."

[@tychobrohe76]

I have all the ingredients for this! I know my plans for the day

[@lisabarr6004]

I never buy ground chicken, but I think I might for this. Thank you. Your sub from Ottawa 🇨🇦 👍

[@alex06112003]

Looks delicious

[@anidnmeno]

Chef John is playing *ZERO* games with this one

[@CureInsomnia]

This has got to be good.

[@johnwilkesbo]

this recipe is friggin awesome

[@hesthatguy]

Just my 2c, from a purely textural standpoint, you should do cheese first, than marinara. It keeps the chicken from getting soggy.

[@ypcomchic]

That looks so good chef!! 😋

[@suzannecuerrier279]

That looked delicious!

[@greatboniwanker]

The longer we live, the more chicken parm burgers we get to eat!

[@adrianthomas6899]

Just wondering if these freeze well and. Ok the same when defrosted?

[@TizonaAmanthia]

Ooooh, this is a good recipe! I had a bag of chicken patties from...somewhere...a few years back, and I had the idea of a burger bun, a slice of provolone, and some jarred sauce. I threw the patties in the oven on a sheet pan. heated them through, and at the end spoon of sauce, big slice of cheese, put them back in just long enough to melt, and then assembled on a burger. far from the quality of Chef John but still dang good for the effort to make them. [and the cost.]

[@manelson4338]

THAT LOOKS GOOD! GOTTA TRY IT!

[@thomasmc7014]

I’m making this.. thank you

[@dragonlord498]

looks nice i think next time i go get groceries will likely try and get the indigents for this also having chicken thighs today

[@EthanCarter-v4l]

How would these air fry? Seems like it would work

[@norwegianguy9480]

What did you do with the salad? Is it sprinkled with parmesan cheese?

[@jm9371]

I totally WANT one!.. I think I can do this one.

[@jakrabitmn]

I'm going to be making this, for sure... however, i want to know more about the salad on the plate as well.

[@ep02105]

That looks yummy it would be great served with sweet potato fries 🍟 or coleslaw 😊

[@peterlarsen7779]

_"Damp hands make smooth balls..."_ 🤭🤭🤣🤣

[@AlRoderick]

There is one traditional burger fixing I would potentially introduce to this, some nice sliced olives. Other than that it looks perfect as is.

[@d.s.i.6722]

Could you bake these instead of fry? What would the time & temp be?

[@kindabluejazz]

When my mom made them from eggplant or chicken cutlets, she would fry them first to get them crispy, then put them in a casserole dish with sauce and cheese to finish in the oven. You could do them fully in the oven, but if you want them crispy-ish, bake them first dry till mostly done, then add the sauce and cheese and finish cooking till bubbly. Usually you bake chicken for about 20 minutes at about 325-350F, then raise to 375-400F to crisp up for the last 10 minutes or so. I find a meat thermometer essential to cooking things like this and not overcooking, because you can't see when they're done, and you can't see the juices etc.

[@blarghchan]

So glad to see it was actually a burger, and not a chicken sandwich masquerading as one.

[@norrishanna4113]

Hi Chef John, what’s your Caesar dressing recipe please?

[@SanTM]

Can also use chicken mince and not have to use and then clean a chickeny a food processor

[@indiaandrews6996]

The Caesar Salad looks delicious. 😋

[@methosmomomax7470]

I could see eating this with a Hawaiian dinner rolls as bit size sandwiches!
