# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, lemon juice, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently by hand until just combined.
02 -
Divide the mixture evenly and shape into 4 burger patties, ensuring they are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place chicken patties in the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
04 -
Lightly toast the cut sides of the hamburger buns until golden. Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on the bottom half of each bun.
05 -
Add a leaf of Romaine lettuce to each bun base, top with a cooked chicken patty, a handful of shaved Parmesan, and a drizzle of additional Caesar dressing. Crown with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:

For added flavor and texture, include crispy bacon or sliced avocado during assembly. Grilled chicken breasts may be substituted for the ground chicken for a lighter profile.
