Bobbys Lighter Chicken Creole Burgers With Bayou Mayo Recipe By Bobby Deen

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender, about 8 min. Remove from heat; transfer to a large bowl. Let cool 5 minutes. 2. Add the ground chicken and creole seasoning to the onion/mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Shape into 4 patties. 3. Spray a grill pan (or griddle) with nonstick spray and heat to medium heat. Add the patties and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked...about 6 - 7 minutes per side. 4. Meanwhile, prepare the Bayou Mayo by combining the mayo, chives, lemon juice, and creole seasoning. Serve the burgers in the buns topped with the Bayou Mayo. navywifecook.com

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium.
• Place the strips of bacon on the grill (lay them across the grate so they don't fall through) and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Increase the heat of the grill to high.
• Form the meat into 4 (8-ounce) burgers, brush with the oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill the burgers until golden brown on both sides and cooked completely through, about 5 minutes per side. Top the burgers with the blue cheese, close the cover, and continue cooking until the cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute longer.
• Place the burgers on the bottom half of each bun and top with a slice of tomato, 2 slices of avocado, 2 slices of bacon and some of the dressed romaine. Cover each burger with the bun tops and serve.
• Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper and oil in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld.
• Just before assembling the burgers, place the romaine in a medium bowl and toss with the vinaigrette.
