Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 1 medium Green chili, diced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, diced green chili, chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, breadcrumbs, egg, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about ½ inch thick. Place the patties onto a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add vegetable oil.
Cook the patties for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to create a spicy mayo spread.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for added texture.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce leaves, a cooked patty with melted cheddar, tomato slices, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as fries or a fresh salad.
