Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 burger buns, toasted
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
Optional: sliced tomatoes, pickles, or red onions for extra toppings
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness. Rub each side with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
Toast the Buns:
Lightly toast the burger buns until golden and warm.
Assemble the Burgers:
Spread Caesar dressing on the bottom bun. Add shredded romaine lettuce, place the grilled chicken breast on top, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Add more Caesar dressing if desired. Finish with the top bun.
Serve:
Serve warm with a side of fries, sweet potato wedges, or a fresh salad.
