Craving the simplicity of a salad, but the satisfaction of a burger? Combine the two into Chicken Caesar Burgers! These juicy, easy, sizzling burgers are OVER THE TOP delicious – and easy, too!
Ground chicken is spiced with classic caesar salad flavors like parmesan cheese, caesar salad dressing, worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice, then shaped into patties and tossed onto a smoky grill. Topped with fresh ingredients like romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions, this is one tasty, salad-inspired burger!
Start with 1lb ground chicken. I prefer using 95/5 ground chicken, as the fat adds flavor and juiciness to the burger, though you can use 99% fat free ground chicken breast too.
Add the ground chicken to a large mixing bowl with 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoon bread crumbs. I use pulverized rice Chex as gluten free bread crumbs, though if you don’t need to eat gluten free you can use panko or regular, unseasoned bread crumbs.
Next add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 Tablespoons caesar salad dressing.
I have always loved this Brianna’s Homestyle Caesar dressing. It’s thick, creamy, and the flavor is super concentrated. Yummy!
Finally add 1 Tablespoon each Worcestershire sauce and fresh lemon juice.
Mix everything together until just combined then shape into 4 patties.
Brush the tops with extra virgin olive oil (or spray with nonstick spray) then grill for 4-5 minutes per side over medium heat, brushing the tops with more oil before flipping. Alternatively you can cook these in a skillet indoors.
Give your buns a nice toast on the grill (heh) then place a patty on top and dress up with more dressing, romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onion. Open wiiiide….!

Mmm…..
Wow! What a delicious looking burger. I want to make some now. Thanks for sharing from 3girls1apple.com
So delish! Saw the recipe yesterday and made them for dinner tonight. First time using ground chicken and will definitely use it again. Thanks for the awesome recipe!
So glad you liked them!! :)
Do you think this will work with turkey, too?
I used 99% lean ground turkey and they were just fine. Scaled up the ingredients just slightly since you get 1.2 lbs or whatever it is in the packs that I buy.
Definitely!
No judgies about scooping up CHO when it’s on sale! Blacking out and ending up with 30 cups? Been there, done that. ;)
Have a great week, Kristin!

These burgers look/sound absolutely fantastic! I am a fan of anything made with chicken over beef since I don’t eat red meat. I will be making these soon and hopefully will be able to convince someone to enjoy them with me :)

Have you tried the coconut Cho yet? oh.em.gee. obsessed. just slightly :)
These look great! I bought this dressing for the first time to make your chicken caesar chalupas. We fell in love with that dressing, and we are hooked! I should buy that stuff by the case…for real!
btw, I made your summer vegetable quinoa tonight. Delicious!! Thanks for so many great recipes!
Looks delicious! For some reason I never see ground chicken at my grocery store, just ground beef and ground turkey. Do you go somewhere special? Do you think the recipe would work as well with turkey? I’ve been craving lots of burgers since getting pregnant so it would be nice to add this to the rotation!
First of all…love your blog and I am also a UNI grad (go panthers!)
I am also pregnant, but not due until December. I am wondering if you have made any freezer meals to have on hand after your little one arrives or if you compile a list of your favorite freezer meals.
Looks wonderful! I love working with ground chicken when I can.
No responses to comments from IGE all day — do we think she’s in labor like the Duchess? ;)
Blarg, I wish!! Just working away on several projects! :)
I was so excited to see that Chobani deal at my HyVee, too. Unbelievable!
Will you remind me of your due date? It’s getting very close right??
This Friday (but hopefully a bit sooner!) ;)
Oh goods luck! I hope it’s sooner!
Blessings! Take care :)
How do you prepare the new York strip steak? My husband and I just bought a grill and we are trying to learn the tricks to grilling since we’ve never been grillers before!
