BLUE CHEESE STUFFED BUFFALO CHICKEN BURGER

Steps:

• 1) Mix the ground chicken with green onions and garlic. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but up to 24 hours.
• 2) When you are ready to eat: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wet your hands with cool water and gather 1/8 of the chicken mixture. Shape it into a sort of nest and place one heaping tablespoon of blue cheese into the center, then cover with 1/8 more chicken and shape into a patty. Repeat with the remaining chicken. You will have 4 burgers. They can be placed back into the fridge for up to a day (in which case, turn the oven off), or cook immediately. Drizzle a scant amount of veg oil over both sides of the burgers and a light sprinkle of salt then line a baking tray with foil and bake for 15 minutes, douse both sides with Buffalo sauce and flip the burgers. Continue to bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the burgers to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Serve on soft hamburger buns with shredded lettuce and Ranch dressing. Makes 4 burgers

STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Make a pocket in each of the chicken breasts by slicing down one side, making sure to not slice all the way through. Stuff each pocket with mozzarella cheese and a 1/4 the minced garlic. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed breast and secure in place with toothpicks. The pocket opening should be completely covered.
• Combine onion and remaining garlic in a shallow baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Place stuffed chicken breasts on top and sprinkle with rosemary.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BUFFALO WING STUFFED BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground chicken and 1 cup wing sauce together in a bowl. Shape the mixture into 10 thin patties. Spread 1 package crumbled blue cheese over the center of 5 patties. Cap with the remaining 5 patties to seal in the blue cheese.
• Cook patties until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Combine the remaining 3/4 cup wing sauce, the remaining 1 package crumbled blue cheese, and blue cheese dressing in a bowl. Spread over the cooked patties. Top burgers with carrots and celery.

BUFFALO SAUCE BURGERS STUFFED WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter and whisk in hot sauce.
• Mix blue cheese and garlic in a small bowl.
• Using your hands, gently mix beef (or buffalo), celery seed, onion and 1/4 cup hot sauce mixture in a medium bowl until blended. Form into 12 patties, using a light touch; the patties should be about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and no more than 1/2 inch thick.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons of cheese-garlic mixture in center of 6 patties, then top with remaining patties and press together, sealing edges.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. (Even if you aren't making these ahead of time, I think they hold together better after a little chill time).
• Heat grill to medium and oil grate.
• Grill burgers about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to taste. (I'll only eat ground beef cooked well, so I cooked a bit longer.) Brush with remaining hot sauce mixture during last 2 minutes of cooking. Toast buns if you like.
• (I couldn't think of many traditional condiments I wanted on this burger, so I just ate mine with extra buffalo sauce and lettuce).

Discard toothpicks. Serve on buns.
