Chicken Cordon Blue Burger

My inspiration is coming from my family recipes. I was born in Quebec Canada and now have lived in Florida for over 30 years so the French Canadian in me loves the Chicken Cordon Blue I grew up with but is quite of a lengthy recipe to make and so why not into a burger and have dinner ready in less than 15 minutes and I love taking old family recipes and reinventing them into new recipes in different forms like this one!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb ground chicken

1 1/2 teaspoon chicken seasoning

2 tablespoon fresh parsley

4 tablespoon Italian bread crumbs

2 teaspoon milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper
