Portabella Chicken Burgers Recipes

PESTO PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM, OR CHICKEN, BURGERS WITH MARINATED ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Marinate the tomatoes, whisk together all ingredients except tomatoes in a bowl. Add tomatoes and then cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, can even be left overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• After 15 minutes remove garlic cloves and add the halved tomatoes along with the remaining liquids to a baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, remove from the oven and set aside.
• While the tomatoes marinate and roast, work on the burgers. Combine the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor or blender and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil and process until smooth. Add the cheese and pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add the crushed red pepper, if using.
• Combine 3 tablespoons of the pesto, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and ground chicken and form into 4 patties. Or if using the mushrooms rub them with about a tablespoon of olive oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place on grill or skillet and cook on each side until golden and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once you flip the burgers, or mushrooms, top with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese. Grill until the cheese is melted and the burgers, or mushrooms, are cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place the burger on the bottom of a bun and top with a generous amount of pesto and a handful of the roasted tomatoes. Add the top bun and dig in!

CHICKEN PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM BURGER

Steps:

• Whisk all the ingredients for the marinade together. Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag, and pour the marinade on top. Seal the bag and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Brush the cleaned portobello mushrooms with olive oil on both sides. Season the cap with a light dusting of salt and pepper. Place the portobellos cap-side down on a baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper. Roast the portobellos for 15 minutes or until a golden brown. Remove from oven and set the mushrooms aside. These can roasted ahead of time since they will be warmed again on the grill with the chicken.
• Preheat the grill to medium high.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place on the hot grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side with the lid closed for the first 5 minutes. Use a digital thermometer to monitor the internal temperature. Cook the chicken until 150 degrees. Do not overcook. The chicken will continue cooking after it is removed from the hot grill.
• During the last 5 minutes of grilling the chicken, place the portobello mushrooms on the grill stem-side down. Brush some balsamic glaze on top of each portobello cap. Flip once for some grill marks.
• Place one gilled portobello cap side down, drizzle of balsamic glaze, grilled chicken breast, caramelized onions, basil leaves, fresh mozzarella slice, drizzle of balsamic glaze and top with a portobello mushroom cap-side up.
• Note: Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, after grilling, you can slice the chicken breasts horizontally to make a thinner and more even chicken breast for easier eating on the burger.
• Note: To make caramelized onions, slice 2 medium onions and cook in a non-stick saute pan over medium heat for about 15 minutes with 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil and ½ teaspoon salt until golden brown. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to prevent sticking.

VEGETARIAN CHICKEN-FRIED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM STEAKS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack at the top of the oven, and preheat the broiler. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking sheet, and broil until the sides facing up begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Flip, and continue to broil until the sides facing up are soft, about 5 minutes more. Let cool.
• Put the mushrooms, gill-side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, and pound to about 1/4 inch thick with a meat mallet. Season all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate shallow dish.
• Lower the oven heat to 250 degrees F. Put a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Heat about an inch of oil to 350 degrees F in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• While the oil heats, dredge each mushroom in the flour mixture to completely coat; shake off any excess. Then dip into the egg mixture until fully coated; let the excess drip off. Return the mushroom to the flour mixture, and dredge a second time, until completely coated, pressing firmly into the flour mixture. Arrange on one side of the rack on the baking sheet.
• Add 2 of the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil, and cook, turning once, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the mushrooms to the unused side of the rack. When the oil comes back to temperature, repeat with the remaining 2 mushrooms and keep the first 2 warm in the oven.
• Serve the mushroom steaks with mashed potatoes and generous spoonfuls of hot gravy. Garnish with chives or scallions if using.
• Position an oven rack in the top position in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the onions, celery, carrots and garlic with the oil and 1 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are charred in some places, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Bring the roasted vegetables, 1 cup water, mushrooms, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, soy sauce, bay leaf and 1 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is gone, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 6 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring back to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and gently simmer until reduced by about one third, about 45 minutes. Strain the stock into a large liquid measuring cup, then squeeze all the liquid out of the solids with the back of a ladle (there should be about 4 cups of stock); discard the solids. (If not making gravy right away, let the stock cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month; warm slightly before making gravy.)
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage leaves to the butter, and stir for 30 seconds; remove the fried sage leaves, and set aside. Add the flour to the saucepan, and stir until smooth and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the warm stock while whisking constantly until smooth and thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Chop the fried sage, stir it and the parsley into the gravy and season to taste with pepper.
