Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a food processor, blend 5 cups of basil leaves with the mayonnaise salad dressing until smooth.
- Season with a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
- Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions and cook until they are translucent and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken until fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken cool slightly, then chop into small pieces or shred with a fork.
- Toast the 4 slices of white bread until they are golden brown.
- Spread a generous layer of the basil mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread.
- Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of the basil mayonnaise.
- Add slices of tomato and a few finely chopped pickles on top of the chicken.
- Garnish with basil leaves for added flavor and presentation.
- Arrange the open-faced chicken burgers on a serving platter.
- Enjoy immediately while the bread is still crispy and the ingredients are fresh.
Tips:
- For an extra kick, you can add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the basil mayonnaise.
- Toast the bread slices lightly before assembling the burgers for added texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a lower-calorie option, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for the basil spread.
- Feel free to grill the chicken thighs instead of cooking them on a stovetop for a smoky flavor.
- Slice the pickles and tomatoes thinly to ensure they fit well on the open-faced sandwiches.
