2 teaspoons vegetable oil or 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 slices Canadian bacon
2 lbs ground chicken
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons garlic steak seasoning (Montreal Steak Seasoning) or 2 teaspoons salt and pepper
1 shallot, finely chopped
4 slices swiss cheese
2/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, 4 sprigs chopped
4 kaiser rolls or 4 English muffins, sour dough, split and toasted
8 leaves leaves lettuce
1 tomatoes, vine ripe, thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat grill pan, nonstick griddle, large nonstick skillet or table top electric grill to medium high heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil and Canadian bacon. Warm bacon and caramelize it at edges, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a piece of foil. Fold foil over loosely to keep warm.
Pour olive oil on plate. Finely chop shallot (not too much shallot or too big, or the burgers will fall apart).
Combine chicken, paprika, poultry seasoning, grill seasoning, shallot.
Score meat with the side of your hand to separate into 4 equal amounts. Make 4 large patties, 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Drop each patty onto the plate you poured olive oil on and coat with oil and place on hot grill pan, griddle or in skillet. Cook 5 minutes on each side, until chicken is cooked through.
Top patties with reserved cooked Canadian bacon and Swiss cheese. Fold each slice of cheese in half to fit the burger. Cover loosely with tin foil. Turn off pan and let cheese melt, 2 minutes.
Combine mayonnaise (or reduced fat mayonnaise, eyeball it), mustard, tarragon. Slather bun tops or English tops with sauce. Place Cordon Bleu burgers on bun bottoms and top with lettuce and tomato. Put bun or muffin tops in place. Serve with fries.
