Ingredients
Burger Patties
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1 small white onion finely grated
- 3 cloves garlic finely grated
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼-½ teaspoon cayenne pepper depending on spice level
- ½ cup plain bread crumbs gluten-free if desired
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons minced chives
- 3 tablespoons butter cold and cut into small cubes
Burger Sauce
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
Other ingredients
- 6 burger buns
- 6 slices of swiss cheese or cheddar
- 1 large avocado pitted and cut into thin slices
- 1 large Roma tomato cut into thin slices
- 6 large pieces of iceberg lettuce
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 375ºF.
- Prepare the burger sauce by adding all of the sauce ingredients into a bowl. Mix ingredients together until combined. Place the sauce in the refrigerator for later.
- Next, place all of the ingredients for the chicken burgers (except for the butter) into a large bowl and mix until everything is well combined. Then fold in the cold butter cubes.
- Wet your hands with a little water and then use a ⅓ cup scoop to scoop the burger mixture into your hands. Form a ball with the burger mixture and then flatten the ball into a ½ inch patty. Place the patty onto a greased plate. Repeat until all of the burger mixture has been made into patties. We got 6 burgers.
- Place a piece of tin foil on your grill grates and spray it with a generous amount of non-stick cooking spray. Then place the burger patties over direct heat for 4 minutes on each side.
- Once the burgers are charred and firm, move them to indirect heat and place a piece of cheese on each burger and let the burger patties sit over indirect heat until the cheese melts (about 2 minutes) and the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.* Remove from the grill.
- Let the burgers sit for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the burgers. Place a piece of iceberg lettuce on the bottom half of the bun, followed by the tomato, avocado slices, and then the burger patty.
- Then, add 1-2 tablespoons of the burger sauce to the top half of the bun and place that on top of the burger patty. Enjoy!
