In this recipe, the ingredients of a delicious chicken Caesar salad are combined with a burger. Grilled chicken burgers are served on a toasted ciabatta roll and topped with Caesar dressing and romaine lettuce. The Caesar dressing gets a lot of flavor from ingredients such as lemon, garlic, and anchovy. Parmesan cheese is mixed into the ground chicken to keep the patties from drying out while cooking. If you don’t have an outdoor grill you can use either a griddle, frying pan or an indoor grill pan. Enjoy.
