Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground chicken
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 pieces Fresh jalapenos, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 pieces Ripe avocados
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 8 slices Tomato slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Cook the burger patties for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 4

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the guacamole. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Mix in lime juice, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion. Season with additional salt to taste.

Step 5

Lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked burger patty. Add a dollop of guacamole and a couple of tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheddar Jalapeno Chicken Burgers with Guacamole!
