  • 4leaves romaine lettuce
  • 1tomato, thinly sliced
  • ½red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cupranch dressing
  • ¼ cupblue cheese crumbles
  • 2 ozcream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoonbuffalo sauce
  • 2 poundsground chicken
  • 1egg
  • ¼ cupquick oats

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare your buffalo cheese filling, in a small bowl whisk together buffalo sauce, blue cheese, and cream cheese until fully combined. For ease of filling transfer to a sandwich size ziplock bag and cut off the tip to 'pipe' onto the chicken.*

  2. 2

    Prepare the burgers. Cover a platter/plate with a piece of wax or parchment paper to keep the burgers from sticking to the plate. In a large bowl combine the ground chicken, egg, and quick oats until just combined. Divide the chicken mixture in to 4 sections to make 4 burgers. From each of the chicken sections take 1/3 of the mixture and set aside, these pieces will be used to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Take the larger chicken sections and form 4 patties about 1/2 thick, beware if they are too thin the filling has a larger chance of coming out while cooking. Place on the wax paper.

  4. 4

    Pipe or scoop 1/4 of the buffalo cheese filling onto the center of the 4 chicken patties.

  5. 5

    Take the remaining chicken and form each pieces into 4 smaller patties and cover over top the buffalo filling. Gently press and smooth the ground chicken together sealing in the filling.

  6. 6

    Transfer burgers to the freezer to rest 10-15 minutes while you pre-heat your grill to medium.**

  7. 7

    Transfer burger patties to grill over direct heat. Cook 7-8 minutes on one side. Flip and cook another 7-8 minutes, until burgers are fully cooked.

  8. 8

    Serve chicken burgers on hamburger buns topped with romaine leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices, and a drizzle of ranch dressing (and extra buffalo sauce if you like it really spicy).
