Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Burgers
- 1 ½ lb ground chicken meat (thighs preferred)
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Gouda, or Provolone)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
For the Avocado Corn Salsa
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 ear of fresh corn, kernels removed
- â…› cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Place the ground chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped scallions, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties suitable for grilling, ensuring they hold together well.
- Grill the Patties: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are fully cooked through.
- Prepare the Avocado Corn Salsa: In a bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently mix to combine all the flavors without mashing the avocado.
- Serve: Place the grilled chicken burgers on plates and top each with a generous spoonful of the avocado corn salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Using ground chicken thighs instead of breast adds juiciness and flavor.
- Be gentle when mixing the avocado corn salsa to keep the avocado pieces intact.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- If a grill is not available, the patties can be cooked in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat for similar results.
- Ensure chicken patties are cooked thoroughly to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
