Chicken Avocado Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken

• 1 large ripe avocado - cut into chunks

• 1 clove chopped of garlic

• 1/3 cup Panko crumbs (or Almond meal to keep it Paleo and Whole30 friendly)

• 1 minced Poblano or Jalapeño pepper optional but recommended

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1.  Add all ingredients to a large bowl and toss gently.
2. Shape into desired size patties .
3. Grill 4-5 minutes on each side on an indoor grill pan or an outside grill at medium heat or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
4. Serve alone or on a bun with your favorite veggies and condiments!

Recipe Notes:

For best results buy avocado more on the firm side. This will ensure the chunks stay intact during mixing and cooking. We like a ground chicken that is 97/3. A little bit of fat makes these much tastier. Ground chicken breast can be dry. Grill indoors or out. We love to use our indoor grill pan for this!
