Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Lipton Onion Soup mix, Panko crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and several grinds of black pepper.
  2. Form the mixture into four equally sized patties, about ¾ inch thick. Refrigerate for about 24 hours.
  3. In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the minced scallions and chill.
  4. Slice the onions, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and shake in a ziplock bag to coat.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F or 190°C) and oil the grates.
  6. Grill the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
  7. While the patties grill, transfer the onion mixture to a grill-safe tray and sauté for about 10-12 minutes until caramelized.
  8. Toast the burger buns cut side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes until warm and crispy.
  9. Assemble the burgers with a grilled patty, the cream cheese mixture, and caramelized onions on a toasted bun.
