Chicken Burgers with Avocado Corn Salsa Recipe
When I first tried these chicken burgers with avocado corn salsa, I couldn't believe how easy they were to make! The combination of juicy, flavorful chicken patties with the tangy, fresh salsa was simply irresistible.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 cup corn kernels fresh, canned, or frozen
- 1/2 red bell pepper diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Sliced red onion
- Cheese optional
- Burger buns your choice of brioche, whole wheat, or gluten-free
Instructions
- To begin, mix the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Once everything is evenly combined, divide the mixture into four portions and shape each into a patty.
- Heat up a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Place the patties on and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Avoid pressing down on the patties to keep them juicy! 🍳
- While the burgers are cooking, toss the diced avocado, corn kernels, bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently to avoid smashing the avocado. You’ll love how vibrant this salsa looks and smells! ✨
- Toast your burger buns for added flavor and crunch. Layer a lettuce leaf on each bun, add the cooked patty, and top generously with the avocado corn salsa. Add optional toppings like tomato slices or cheese for a personalized touch.
- Your delicious chicken burgers are ready to be devoured. Serve them hot with your favorite side dish and enjoy! 🎉
Notes
- Don’t overmix the chicken mixture, as this can make the patties dense. Also, avoid pressing down on them while cooking to lock in juices.
- For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh avocados, lime juice, and corn whenever possible.
- Prepare the avocado corn salsa just before serving to ensure it’s vibrant and fresh; avocados can brown quickly.
- Keep the patties uniformly sized to ensure they cook evenly, avoiding raw centers or overcooked edges.
