Chicken Caesar Burgers

By Courtney 45 Comments

You know, I’ve never really been a huge fan of Caesar salad.

Maybe it’s due to the fact that I like my salads filled to the brim with veggies. Then again, maybe it stems back to that one time when Jay and I were dating in high school…we went out to eat at one of our favorite spots and he ordered a Caesar salad, which came amply topped with some big, fresh anchovies right on top. That was pretty funny…but mostly just gross.

But then many years later, the two of us went for a tasting for our wedding, and I found myself face to face with probably one of THE best Caesar salads I’d ever eaten. I loved it so much that it even made the cut for our salad of choice on the dinner menu.

Ever since then though, I’ve probably only eaten one or two other chicken Caesar salads. I mean, I do enjoy the flavor of them…quite a bit, actually…but when I hear salad, I want veggies. LOTS of veggies.

So you know what I did? I took all of that yummy Caesar flavor…

Chicken Caesar Burgers (7)

…and made it into a Chicken Caesar Burger.

I told you I was going to make another attempt at that ground chicken, didn’t I?

The burgers themselves are filled with all of the components you’d expect to find in a chicken Caesar salad: chicken, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (the “croutons”), and the perfect amount of Caesar dressing.

Of course, you’ve got to add in your romaine lettuce and a little more parmesan.

Chicken Caesar Burgers (8)

And you definitely can’t forget to add a little more Caesar dressing to your seasoned and toasted buns.

Chicken Caesar Burgers (10)I lightly sprayed our buns with some spray butter and sprinkled them with a little parmesan cheese and garlic.

Talk about delicious.

Chicken Caesar Burgers

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1lb. ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons light Caesar dressing
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Freshly shredded parmesan cheese
  • Extra Caesar dressing
  • Romaine lettuce
  • Sliced red onion
  • Hamburger buns

Directions:

Combine first eight ingredients (through lemon juice) and mix well. Form into four patties, creating a slight dent in the center of the patty; refrigerate about 30 minutes. Grill over medium-high heat, 6-8 minutes on each side. Top cooked chicken burgers with freshly shredded parmesan cheese, romaine lettuce, and sliced red onion.

If desired, coat insides of hamburger buns with a little spray butter and a sprinkle of garlic powder or parmesan cheese and place on the grill 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Spread extra Caesar dressing on toasted buns and top with cooked chicken burgers. Enjoy!

Here’s the approximate nutrition stats on the burgers, NOT including the bun or additional toppings…

chicken caesar burger nutrition

******************

First, get all of your chicken burger ingredients together.

Chicken Caesar Burgers2 (2)

Just don’t forget to add the breadcrumbs like I almost did.

Chicken Caesar Burgers3 (3)

Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Chicken Caesar Burgers (4)

Form into four patties (*placing on wax paper will help prevent extra sticking) and refrigerate 30 minutes. Don’t forget to create that well in the center…it will help prevent your burger from cooking up into a big puff ball.

Chicken Caesar Burgers (5)

Top cooked burgers with parmesan cheese and allow to slightly melt while toasting your hamburger buns, if desired. Spread buns with extra Caesar dressing, and top with romaine lettuce and sliced red onion.

Then feel free to dive head first into your fantastic new creation.

It’s gonna be the “new” way to eat Chicken Casear. Just you wait and see. Winking smile

    Those look so juicy! I haven't had caesar anything in a while due to the anchovies, but as soon as I can find a fish-free caesar dressing, I'm totally going to try a chickpea caesar burger. Does anyone have any recommendations for a veg-friendly dressing?

    Yum! I have a similar slow cooker recipe on my blog ... you cook chicken thighs all day and then add the Caesar dressing and Parmesean cheese to the shredded meat. It's one of my husband's favorites ... so I'm sure he'd love your burger, as well!

    Funny you talk about that! Because I've never liked Caesar salad either and I don't know why...I know that it has partly to do with creamy dressings b/c I don't dig them much. However, I did try the best caesar salad ever when my husband (then bf)made it for me out of scratch!! Like, grinding up the anchovies, cream, etc. etc. and it was amazing...But it may also have been the love he put into it ;) hehe. Your recipe looks tasty girl! Good job, it looks like it's a success.

      That's awesome to hear, thanks for sharing Erin! I'd say maybe go with some baked sweet potatoes (or fries!) or some roasted red potatoes? These are a favorite of ours right now: http://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/easy-oven-roasted-potatoes-recipe/
