Ingredients

For the burgers:

8 (1/2- thick) strips bacon
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken, 90 percent lean
2 tablespoons canola oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
4 burger buns, split
1 large ripe beefsteak tomato, cut into 4 slices
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 8 slices

For the vinaigrette:

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely shredded romaine lettuce

For the burgers:

Directions

Heat the grill to medium.

Place the strips of bacon on the grill (lay them across the grate so they don't fall through) and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Increase the heat of the grill to high.

Form the meat into 4 (8-ounce) burgers, brush with the oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill the burgers until golden brown on both sides and cooked completely through, about 5 minutes per side. Top the burgers with the blue cheese, close the cover, and continue cooking until the cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute longer.

Place the burgers on the bottom half of each bun and top with a slice of tomato, 2 slices of avocado, 2 slices of bacon and some of the dressed romaine. Cover each burger with the bun tops and serve.

For the vinaigrette:

Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper and oil in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld.

Just before assembling the burgers, place the romaine in a medium bowl and toss with the vinaigrette.

What a delicious burger. The salad topping really kicks it up to the next level. I even made this for my daughter and her... girlfriend and they couldn't believe how tasty it was especially for chicken burgers. Thanx Bobby for another great recipe.Read more

Bangin'!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was fabulous. Wife doesn't like blue cheese, so I replaced it with harvati cheese with dill, and it was spectacular. ... Also replaced turkey bacon for regular bacon and used 99% lean chicken. Wow, delicious flavors and a really lean burger. Really easy to make. Will make it again and again.Read more

My favorite burger!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fantastic! I made these for a party and one of my guests said this was better than a Red Robin burger. I didn't have ground... chicken so I used a food processor to make my own from chicken breasts. Read more

Rave Reviews!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My daughter in law made these burgers while we were visiting in Virginia... My husband ... who is a dyed in the wool 100% all... American beef burger man has raved to everybody he has seen about this burger. It was a very pleasant surprise since we were all kind of skeptical about a chicken burger.. but we were all pleasantly surprised. What a great and healthy change from the old regular hamburger. Thanks Bobby! This is definitely a keeper. Read more

WOW BURGER!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these in my indoor grill pan because the weather here hasn't been cooperative. They were so good I can't wait to do... them on the grill! I followed recipe exact(rare for me) and what a treat. If you like Cobb salad at all try these. You will not miss the beef. + you will look like a star and reduce the calories and fat by not using beef. Do not skip the viagrette and romaine topping it really melds it all together. Awesome job Bobby! Thanks!Read more
