Description
A delicious Chicken Caesar Burger with a twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ¼ cup white onion, shredded
- 2–3 tablespoons frozen butter, shredded
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely shredded
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
- Kosher salt & ground black pepper
- Hamburger buns (regular or gluten-free)
- Romaine lettuce
- Caesar dressing (regular or dairy-free)
- Shaved parmesan cheese
- Croutons
- Optional: sliced red onion
Instructions
- Prep the Onion & Butter: Grate the white onion onto paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture. Shred frozen butter using the same grater.
- Make the Burger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated onion, grated butter, mayo, parmesan, garlic, Worcestershire, Dijon, lemon zest, and liquid smoke (if using). Mix gently until just combined.
- Form Patties: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide mixture into 4 equal patties. Press a small indent into the center of each patty. Freeze for 20 minutes.
- Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean grates and lightly oil if needed. Season tops of patties with salt and pepper. Grill for 5–6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Add cheese during the last 1–2 minutes if desired. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Build the Burgers: Layer bottom bun, romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, chicken burger, more Caesar dressing, red onion (optional), shaved parmesan, croutons, and top bun. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Liquid Smoke adds a subtle grilled flavor boost.
- For gluten-free, use GF buns and gluten-free croutons (or omit).
