Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (plus extra for serving)
- 1/2 cup crushed croutons
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan (for coating)
- 4 burger buns
- Romaine lettuce, for serving
- Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, extra dressing
Method
Mix the patty ingredients. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, Caesar dressing, crushed croutons, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Gently mix until just combined—avoid overworking the meat.
Shape and coat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Press each patty into the shredded Parmesan, coating both sides for a crispy crust.
Cook to perfection. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F).
- Assemble and enjoy. Toast the buns lightly, then layer with lettuce, the crispy Parmesan-coated patty, and extra Caesar dressing. Serve with cherry tomatoes for a fresh crunch.
