Ingredients
  

For the Burgers
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
For Assembly
  • 4 pieces burger buns, split
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup crunchy croutons for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan, Caesar dressing, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, pressing a slight dimple into the center of each.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high. If using a skillet, heat it over medium-high and add a bit of oil.
  2. Grill the patties for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid flipping more than once.
  3. During the last minute, toast the buns cut-side down on the grill.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the burger: bottom bun, patty, chopped romaine, extra Parmesan, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, and finish with croutons.
  2. Top and serve immediately.

Notes

For binding, add 1 tablespoon plain breadcrumbs or one lightly beaten egg if needed. Use low-fat or full-fat dressing based on preference. Substitute romaine with baby spinach if desired.
