These Chili Lime Chicken Burgers are a copy of the ones you can buy at Trader Joe's. Instead of guacamole, I just put slices of avocado on top. They are citrusy and spicy. What more could you ask for?!
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
2 green onions, chopped
¼ cup red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lime, cut in half
4 slices pepper jack cheese
4 buns, toasted
For the guacamole
1 avocado
garlic powder
salt & pepper
Directions
1Combine chicken, green onions, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes and juice of half a lime in a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined, then form into 4 patties and spray each side generously with non-stick spray.
2Heat a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill burgers for 3-4 minutes a side, or until cooked all the way through. Place a slice of cheese on top of each burger, then cover with a large pot lid, and allow to melt for about a minute. Remove burgers to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Place each burger on a toasted thin bun, then top with guacamole.
