Directions:

In a large bowl combine ground chicken, garlic, onion, parsley, blue cheese, poultry seasoning, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper. Form into 4 oval shaped patties.

Dredge in flour to prevent juices from escaping. Grill over medium heat, until internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) Remove burgers from grill.

Slice bread thickly. Brush both sides with olive oil, and place on grill until golden brown; turn, repeat.

Transfer bread to plate. Add burger, top with lettuce and tomato, and garnish with a pat of blue cheese. Goes well with dilled potato salad and asparagus.
