Chicken Caesar Burgers

Couldn't resist sharing one more burger recipe. If you love Caesar salad, bet you'll flip for these bacon-wrapped burgers served on French bread rolls with creamy dressing!!
(serves 4)

Burgers:
1 l. ground chicken breast
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped, 2/3 cup
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 anchovies, chopped (I would use the paste in a tube*)
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 cloves garlic, crushed
8 slices smoked, uncured bacon (again, I use Hempler's*)
EVOO, for brushing

Assembly:
1 T. EVOO
4 small French baguettes or rolls, about 3 oz. each, cut in half lengthwise
4 leaves romaine lettuce
1/4 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing + additional
Shaved Parmesan cheese

For the burgers: In a bowl, combine the chicken, scallions, cheese, anchovies, lemon zest, and garlic. Divide mixture into 4 portions; shape each into a ball, then flatten slightly into a burger. Wrap 2 slices of bacon, crisscross, around each burger. Cover and refrigerate 30 mins. Heat a griddle pan or prepare grill for direct-heat cooking. Brush burgers with a little oil; cook, turning once, 5-6 mins. per side until burgers and bacon are cooked through.
Assembly: Brush oil over cut sides of baguettes; broil until toasted, about 30 secs. On each baguette bottom, place 1 lettuce leaf and burger; drizzle with 1 T. dressing and sprinkle with Parmesan shavings. Top with baguette lids. If desired, serve with additional dressing.

Have FUN today!!!
