Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces Fresh jalapenos, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 pieces Ripe avocados
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Tomato slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Cook the burger patties for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the guacamole. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Mix in lime juice, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion. Season with additional salt to taste.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked burger patty. Add a dollop of guacamole and a couple of tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheddar Jalapeno Chicken Burgers with Guacamole!
