Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground chicken
• 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 Jalapeño, finely minced (optional)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (for greasing grill or skillet)
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 4 Cheddar cheese slices
• 1 Avocado, sliced (optional)
• 0 Sour cream or taco sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, taco seasoning, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, minced jalapeño (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty that is roughly the size of your burger buns.

Step 4

Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat, greased with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

If you're using cheese slices, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking to let it melt.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the chicken patty, a slice of tomato, sliced avocado (if using), and a dollop of sour cream or taco sauce (if desired). Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a side of fries, chips, or a fresh salad, and enjoy your Chicken Taco Burgers!
