Caesar salad: 2 c. roughly chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, and freshly ground black pepper
Assembly: burger bun, burger, salad, and shaved parmesan
Directions:
Burgers: In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the chicken patties (except for the avocado oil) until well combined. Shape into 4-equal sized patties.
Heat 2 to 3 TBSP of avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the patties and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
Salad: In a medium bowl, toss the romaine lettuce with 1 to 2 TBSP of Caesar dressing and pepper, until it is well coated.
Assembly: To build the burgers, place the burger patty on a bun and top with Caesar salad and shaved parmesan cheese.
Yum yum sauce (or mayo, sriracha, chili crisp, whatever sauce you like)
Directions:
Make the Sesame Slaw: Toss the slaw ingredients together. Taste and adjust.
Make the Burgers: Combine chicken, teriyaki sauce, panko, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix with your (clean) hands until well-combined. Form into 4 large patties.
Fry the Burgers: Heat a bit of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the burgers to the hot pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until golden and mostly cooked through; flip to finish for another 2-3 minutes. Cook until no longer pink in the middle, or a meat thermometer registers at least 165F.
Toast Buns: Wipe out the skillet if there are burned bits left in the pan. Pop your buns into the skillet for just a second, cut side down over medium low heat, to get them lightly toasted.
Assemble Burgers: Spread top and bottom buns with yum yum sauce, place a burger, and top with the sesame slaw. Press burgers together, slice into it, and enjoy your life. I love these so much.
