1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Sliced tomatoes

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
For added flavor, cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken patties on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are grilling, prepare the Caesar dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
During the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, place the hamburger buns cut side down on the grill to toast until golden brown.
Spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with grilled chicken patties, romaine lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, and additional grated Parmesan cheese. Top with the bun lid.
Serve the Grilled Chicken Caesar Burgers immediately, garnished with croutons and freshly cracked black pepper if desired.
