Happy birthday burger Mr J! We gave a caesar salad twist to a chicken burger. It was a fun one!
Chicken Caesar Salad Burger
Ingredients: (makes 4)
4 brioche rolls
1 pound ground chicken
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
1/4 cup tablespoons creamy caesar dressing
1/4 cup shaved parmesan
1 head of romaine washed & chopped or 1 bag of your favorite lettuce
Directions:
Preheat the grill (or a griddle works well for these delicate-ish patties).
Mix together the ground chicken, anchovy paste, 1-2 tablespoons caesar dressing, and half of the parmesan cheese. Form into patties and generously salt and pepper each side.
Grill to fully cooked.
While the burger cooks, mix up lettuce, dressing, parmesan, and pepper.
Spread the remaining caesar dressing onto the buns, then add the burger and top with the remaining parmesan and some salad and more salad on the side.
Enjoy!
A quick way would be to dress your burger with parm & creamy caesar dressing. If you’re skipping anchovy paste, you may want more dressing but be careful with the patties. They do get crumbly to grill on a grate. Starting them on foil might help the patties stay together enough to then flip to finish cooking on the grates. We cooked them on a griddle and they stayed together.
Our littlest loved it and said it was “sooo good”. Our oldest wished for a regular burger but ate it. I have a running list of other burgers I haven’t made yet but earmark a few favorite ideas to save for these. Of course my award-winning Parisian Burger https://thethreebiterule.com/parisian-burger/ is an all-time fav.
