Chicken Burger

The summer BBQ season is about to get started. 

I think most of us will agree there is nothing like a great burger right off the grill! Personally I love a burger that is big on flavor, with lots of fixings.

You can add a Tex-Mex flair to your next summer BBQ with this Chicken Burger recipe. It’s packed with flavor, grilled to perfection, then piled high with smashed avocado and smothered in chipotle mayo…a delicious, big and bold new burger to add to your grilling season menu!

With a burger like this, you need a bun that can stand up to the test. The Pepperidge Farm® Farmhouse Hearty Buns are up to the task.  An ordinary bun would have fallen apart loaded with the smashed avocado and chipotle mayo, but the Farmhouse Hearty Buns held up great!

To make the chicken burgers, you’re going to gently mix your ground chicken, grated onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and chopped cilantro with a liberal grinding of salt and pepper.

Form your patties and then refrigerate them for at least fifteen minutes to help keep them from falling apart on the grill. You’re going to grill them for four to five minutes on each side. 

For the chipotle mayo, you’ll combine the mayonnaise, a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce plus a little extra adobo sauce, lime juice and chopped cilantro in a mini food processor. Refrigerate it until you are ready to use it. 

To make the smashed avocado, combine the jalapeño, red onion and lime juice and allow it to sit for a couple minutes to soften the “bite” of the jalapeño and red onion.

Then add the avocados to the mixture, coarsely smash them into chunks, and stir in the chopped cilantro. 

Now you’re ready to assemble your burger!

Place the chicken burger on the bottom half of the bun, and pile the smashed avocado on top. Then smother the other side of the bun with chipotle mayo and go ahead and put it together. 

Doesn’t that look good?! These chicken burgers got rave reviews from my family!
