Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 60 grams bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium avocado
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 whole burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Cook the chicken patties for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
While the patties cook, prepare the avocado salsa. Dice the avocados, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the cilantro.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Add in the lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine and set aside.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Spread a thin layer of the avocado salsa on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a cooked chicken patty on top, followed by a lettuce leaf. Add more avocado salsa on top of the patty, then finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful chicken burgers with avocado salsa!
