Grilled Chicken Pesto Burger this Recipe!

Summer isn't over yet! Here in Tennessee we are getting temperatures in the 90's still! Ugh. On the bright side these Grilled Chicken Pesto Burgers invented by my mom are a delicious way to use up the last of your basil.

These Grilled Chicken Pesto Burgers happen to be Keto. Now I am not Keto, but my mom and dad are trying it out. She has been experimenting with all sorts of Keto recipes and came up with this super easy dinner. These burgers are delicious on the grill or you can use a skillet and cook them inside. The best way to know if the burger is cooked all the way through is to use a meat thermometer. Here's a link to the one I use, but feel free to shop around.

If you are Keto try this burger wrapped in butter lettuce, if your not Keto feel free to use a bun!
