Chicken Guacamole Burgers
Ingredients
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 medium avocado, ripe, cut in 1/2-inch dice
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 pound lean ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Gently combine the onion, cilantro, jalapeno, avocado, and lime juice in a large bowl. In a second bowl, combine the lime zest, egg, ground chicken, salt, and pepper until thoroughly mixed. Add the guacamole mixture and mix with a fork until just combined. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties, working the mixture just enough so it holds together. (Avoid over-compacting the patties.)
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the burgers and cook until the bottom is well browned, about 5 minutes (when you slide a spatula under the burger, it should hold its shape). Flip the burgers over and cook another 4 to 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer stuck in the center registers 160°F. (The temperature will increase another 5 degrees before you eat the burger.) Serve on the toasted rolls.
No matter which one of these delicious burgers you decide on you're sure to be crowned grill master!
