Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Patties:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Caesar Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Assembly:
- 4 brioche burger buns, sliced
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shavings
- 4 lemon wedges
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions and shape into evenly sized burger patties.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties without overcrowding the pan.
- Cook until golden brown on the underside, then carefully flip and continue cooking until the patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the cooked patties to a clean plate and allow them to rest briefly.
- Spread Caesar sauce over the cut sides of the brioche buns.
- Place one chicken patty on each bottom bun. Top with chopped romaine lettuce and Parmesan cheese shavings.
- Cover with the top buns and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the ground chicken to keep the patties tender.
- Check each patty with a food thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Keep the sauce, lettuce, and cooked patties separate until serving to prevent soggy buns.
