Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 large tomato
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, sea salt, and the egg.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into burger patties.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken patties on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the avocado and tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.
Once the chicken burgers are cooked, let them rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble the burger, place each patty on a piece of lettuce, top with slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion. Add another lettuce leaf on top to complete the burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Grilled Chicken Burger!
