BLT Chicken Burger

This is a yummy recipe for grilled chicken.
A BLT chicken burger just great for summer.
I like the added flavor of the bacon in this.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon each fresh lemon juice and finely shredded lemon zest
4 onion kaiser rolls, split
8 strips bacon, cooked until crisp
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
4 leaves romaine lettuce

Directions:
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, gently mix chicken,
cheeses, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Form into 4 burgers about 3/4" thick, set aside.
In a blender, whirl mayonnaise, basil,
lemon juice, and lemon zest together.
Lightly oil cooking grate. Grill burgers,
covered, turning chicken often until done.
Transfer burgers to a clean plate and place buns,
cut sides down, on grill until lightly browned.
Spread toasted sides of buns with basil mayonnaise.
Set a chicken patty on each bun bottom
and top each with 2 strips bacon, a tomato slice,
and a lettuce leaf. Cover with bun top, serve.
