Chicken Caesar Burgers are ground chicken burgers seasoned with prepared Caesar Dressing then piled high with fresh and crunchy toppings.
Craving the freshness of a salad, but the satisfaction of a burger?
Combine the two to create Chicken Caesar Burgers! These juicy, sizzling burgers are OVER THE TOP delicious, and easy, too!
Ground chicken is flavored with classic caesar salad ingredients 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 salad-inspired burger is completely memorable, and a fun switch up from standard beef burgers.
Start with 1lb ground chicken. I prefer using 95/5 ground chicken vs 99% fat free chicken breast, as the fat adds flavor and juiciness to the burger. Ground chicken breast tends to end up dry.
Add the ground chicken into a large mixing bowl with 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoon panko-style gluten free bread crumbs. I like Schar brand. Pulverized rice Chex also work great!
Next add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 Tablespoons caesar salad dressing. I LOVE Ken’s Creamy Caesar Dressing!
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 or grill pan indoors.
Toast buns on the grill — this is especially important when using GF buns, as they benefit SO much texture-wise to being toasted! — then place a patty on top followed by fresh and crunchy toppings like romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onion.
Juicy, smokey, and savory, this is such a fun twist on the flavors of a classic caesar salad. Enjoy!

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!
