Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds ground chicken breast (the average weight of 1 package)
3 garlic cloves, 2 finely chopped, 1 cracked from skin
A handful of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Salt and coarse black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
A handful flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest plus juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus some for drizzling
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 heart of romaine lettuce, chopped
2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
4 crusty rolls, split in half
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the chicken, finely chopped garlic, anchovies, a handful of cheese, a pinch of salt and a generous amount of pepper, Worcestershire sauce, parsley and lemon zest
Mix the meat and form four oval shaped, rather than round, burger patties
Heat a large nonstick skillet with one tablespoon of EVOO, a turn of the pan, over medium-high heat
When hot, add the chicken patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side
Pre-heat the broiler and toast the bread on a cookie sheet or broiler pan
Once lightly golden in color, remove from oven and rub the breads with cracked garlic
Drizzle bread with the EVOO
Combine Dijon, lemon juice and 2-3 tablespoons of EVOO with salt and pepper, and toss the greens with it
Place the patties on the bun bottoms and top them with a pile of romaine, sliced tomatoes and bun tops. Serve the burgers with fries or whatever side you choose
