Steps

  • Step 1

    Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, the Parmesan, the Worcestershire, and a few grinds of black pepper. Wet your hands with cold water, and use them to mix the ingredients.

    Ingredients
    • 2 Pound ground chicken, preferably white and dark meat

    • 1 Cup Parmesan cheese

    • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

    • As Needed black pepper

  • Step 2

    Divide the meat mixture in half, then form six 2-inch patties out of each half. Place the patties on the baking sheet, cover with another sheet of plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  • Step 3

    Combine the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl and whisk together. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.

    Ingredients
    • 1 Cup mayonnaise

    • 2 Tablespoon prepared pesto

  • Step 4

    When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 300F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Arrange the chicken patties on the grill grate and grill, turning once, until the patties are cooked through (165F), about 30 minutes.

  • Step 6

    To serve, put a chicken patty on the bottom of a slider bun and top with a dollop of the pesto mayonnaise. Add tomato, onion, and spinach as desired. Replace the top of the bun and skewer with a frilled toothpick, if desired.
