CHICKEN CAESAR BURGERS
Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped garlic, anchovies, a handful of the cheese, a pinch of salt, a generous amount of pepper, the Worcestershire, parsley, and lemon zest. Score the mixture and form 4 oval, rather than round, patties.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet with 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan, over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken patties and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Preheat the broiler and toast the rolls on a cookie sheet or broiler pan. When they are lightly golden in color, remove the sheet from the oven and rub the breads with the cracked garlic clove. Drizzle the bread with EVOO and sprinkle with the remaining handful of cheese. Return the sheet to the broiler for another 30 seconds, then remove it and let it stand.
- In a large bowl, combine the Dijon, lemon juice, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of EVOO with salt and pepper. Toss the romaine in the dressing.
- Place the patties on the roll bottoms and top them with a pile of dressed romaine, sliced tomatoes, and the roll tops. Serve the burgers with chips alongside.
Tips:
- Prep Ahead: Marinate the chicken breasts overnight or for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help infuse flavor and keep the chicken moist.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh herbs, a good quality Caesar dressing, and a flavorful bun will make a big difference.
- Cook the Chicken Properly: Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through but still juicy.
- Toast the Buns: Toasting the buns will add a nice crunch and help them hold up better to the juicy chicken and dressing.
- Assemble with Care: When assembling the burgers, layer the ingredients carefully to prevent them from sliding around. Start with the chicken, followed by the lettuce, tomato, dressing, and Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
These chicken Caesar burgers are a delicious and easy meal that are perfect for any occasion. They're packed with flavor and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So fire up the grill or heat up a skillet and give them a try!
