Ingredients

• Ground chicken - 400 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Green bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the ground chicken with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Form into two patties.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until soft.
5. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and chopped basil, simmering for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet or a grill.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a chicken patty on each bun, topping with the pepper-tomato sauce and a slice of mozzarella cheese.
8. Cover the burgers with the top bun and serve immediately.
