Dinner - Chicken Caesar Burgers!

About every two weeks, I make a list of the 12 - 14 meals we will eat over the next few weeks. The hassle then comes to making a decision (on a nightly basis) of what to make to dinner. I knew we had buns, and I hate it when bread goes bad, so I decided to go with my modified Chicken Caesar Burgers - SUCH a success!

Ingredients:
1 package ground chicken breast
garlic (I use Garlic Lover's Delight)
grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper (I use Miracle Blend Seasoning)
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Italian Seasoning or something similar
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
EVOO
4 rolls or buns
1 tsp. Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
dash of paprika
lettuce
tomatoes, sliced (I prefer mine thick)

Burgers:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic, as much parmesan as you would like, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, italian seasoning and lemon zest. Stir and form oval patties. (Mine generally makes 6 patties, but it is up to you as to how many patties you want/need.)


2. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with EVOO. Add patties and cook for about 5 minutes per side.



3. Preheat the oven to 350. Toast the buns/rolls on a cookie sheet. When they are light golden, remove; sprinkle with EVOO and top with parmesan cheese. Cook until cheese has set into bun.

4. In a large bowl, combine 1 tsp. Dijon, 1/2 of lemon juice, EVOO, salt/pepper and lettuce. Toss; set aside.

5. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp Dijon, remaining lemon juice, EVOO, and paprika. Set aside. (This is the sauce for the burgers.)



6. Set out all ingredients and build your burger: Bun, sauce, tomato, burger, lettuce, sauce, bun!

You can serve with pasta salad, potato chips..or you can serve it with Guacamole, like I did. To confess, this recipe originated with a Rachel Ray recipe, however, I have adapted to ingredients that I readily have on hand, and included my own burger sauce (since we LOVE sauce for our burgers.) Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
