Caramelized Shallots & Blue Cheese Chicken Burgers

                                               Serves 4

Cheeseburgers get a makeover with ground chicken and gourmet toppings. They're even better served with a cold beer.

2                     tablespoons olive oil, divided 
2                     large shallots, sliced
1                     pound ground chicken
1                     large garlic clove, minced
1                     teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2                  teaspoon kosher salt
1                     teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4                     romaine lettuce leaves 
4                     kaiser rolls, split and toasted
1/4                 cup mayonnaise 
1/4                 cup crumbled blue cheese

1.          Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a frying pan. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, until softened and browned, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
2.         Meanwhile, combine chicken, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Form mixture into 4 patties. Add remaining 1 tbsp. oil to same pan and cook patties, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
3.          Place a lettuce leaf on bottom half of each bun and top with a patty. Top patties with shallots. Mix mayonnaise with blue cheese, spread on bun tops, and set on patties.
