Chicken Cheddar And Guacamole Burgers

Any cut of chicken suited to the marinade, but for burgers, skinless boneless chicken thighs are my first preference, followed by chicken breast.

Recipe Summary Chicken Cheddar And Guacamole Burgers

Looks and tastes great. With the price of beef nowadays I needed a healthier and a little cheaper way to get my burger fix. You could use ground turkey instead of chicken, I would think. And toasting the buns adds another layer of flavor.

Ingredients | Grilled Chicken Burger Recipes

1 ½ pounds ground chicken

½ cup minced yellow onion

⅓ cup minced fresh cilantro

⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

½ lime, juiced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

4 slices Cheddar cheese

4 hamburger buns, split and toasted

¼ cup guacamole, or to taste

4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Mix ground chicken, 1/3 cup cilantro, Cheddar cheese, garlic, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; shape into 4 patties.

Cook patties on grill until the bottom is browned, 3 to 4 minutes; flip the burgers and top with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking until no longer pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer burgers to a plate to rest until juices are reabsorbed into the meat, about 3 minutes.

Put burgers onto split buns and top with guacamole and cilantro.
