How to Make Chicken Burgers With Blue Cheese Mayo
- Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and place in a food processor.
- Add 2 slices bacon, chopped, to the food processor.
- Pulse until coarsely chopped but not pureed.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1/2 small shallot, finely chopped.
- Cook for about 2 minutes, until softened.
- Remove from pan, drain excess oil, and let cool slightly.
- Add the cooked garlic and shallot, 1 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to the chicken mixture in the food processor.
- Season generously with salt and pepper. Pulse to combine.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- **Make the Mayo:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and 1/4 tsp salt until light and frothy.
- Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil while whisking constantly until the mixture emulsifies and thickens.
- Whisk in 1 tbsp white wine vinegar.
- Crumble in 4 oz blue cheese and stir gently to combine.
- Stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cook the remaining 2 bacon slices until crispy. Set aside.
- Grill or pan-fry the chicken burgers over medium heat for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through.
- Toast burger buns lightly.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread blue cheese mayo on the bottom bun. Add lettuce, chicken burger, crispy bacon, and top bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
