How to Make Chicken Avocado Burger:

1. Combine chicken burger ingredients in a large bowl; form into patties and refrigerate.
2. Blend chipotle mayo ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate.
3. Combine jalapeño, red onion, and lime juice. Mix in smashed avocado and cilantro.
4. Grill chicken patties over medium heat until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
5. Place cooked patties on burger buns, top with smashed avocado, and spread chipotle mayo on the bun halves.

Pro Tip: Be sure to refrigerate the patties before grilling to help them hold their shape.

 

 

Can I Use Ground Turkey in a Chicken Avocado Burger?

Yes, you can use ground turkey instead of ground chicken in this Chicken Burger recipe.

They are both a healthier option than red meat burgers.

Turkey burgers will have a different flavor than chicken, but it goes great with the spicy mayo and smashed avocado too.

 

 

Can I Make Chicken Avocado Burger Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can prepare everything for your chicken Avocado Burger ahead of time.

Make the chicken patties, chipotle mayo, and smashed avocado in advance, and store it in the fridge. 

When you are ready to serve your chicken and avocado burger, cook the burgers, assemble, and eat immediately for best flavor and texture.

 

 

How to Store Chicken Avocado Burger:

Store leftover cooked chicken avocado burger patties separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Store chipotle may and smashed avocado in their own containers in the fridge too.

Can You Freeze Chicken Avocado Burger?

Yes you can freeze this chicken avocado burger recipe!

I like to make a double batch and freeze them raw before cooking.

Freeze patties in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid (about an hour).

Separate them with freezer paper to prevent sticking together.

The next time you want a chicken burger with avocado, you can thaw chicken burger patties in the refrigerator before cooking or cook on the grill straight from frozen.

 

 

How Long Do Chicken Avocado Burgers Last?

Chicken Avocado Burgers can last for about an hour after completely assembled.

You can store cooked burgers, mayo, and avocado separately and they will last a week.

Just be sure to reheat the chicken burger before assembling and eating the leftovers.

 

 

What to Serve with Chicken Avocado Burger:

Serve your Chicken Avocado Burger with your favorite burger sides!

Try a side of Sweet Potato Fries Oven, your favorite chips, a crisp Beet Arugula Goat Cheese Salad, or refreshing Creamy Cucumbers for a satisfying meal.

Additional sides you’ll love Homemade Mac and Cheese, Mexican Black Beans, Potato Gratin Stacks and Zucchini Corn Salad. 

Are Chicken Avocado Burgers Healthy?

Yes, chicken avocado burgers are healthy.

With lean ground chicken, creamy avocado, and fresh vegetables, these burgers have a balanced mix of protein, healthy fats, and nutrients, making them a nutritious choice for any meal.

Pro Tip: To make your chicken guacamole burger even healthier, use your favorite burger bun made with whole wheat.

 

 

Are Chicken Avocado Burgers Gluten Free?

Yes, chicken avocado burgers are naturally gluten free!

Just be sure to serve it in a lettuce wrap or gluten-free bun.

Are Chicken Avocado Burgers Keto?

Yes, these chicken avocado burgers are a great option for people following a keto meal plan.

Just be sure to use keto friendly buns or a lettuce wrap.

Though by itself as an avocado chicken patty might be my favorite thing too.
