Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chipotle Yogurt Sauce
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt, chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend and Chill: Stir the ingredients until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 2: Make the Chicken Burger Patties
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced avocado, minced garlic, chopped onion, lime juice, fresh cilantro, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Form Patties: Gently mix the ingredients until well incorporated. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
- Preheat Pan: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook Patties: Place the chicken patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest Patties: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 3: Assemble the Burger
- Toast Buns: Lightly toast the whole grain burger buns on a skillet or grill until they are golden and crisp.
- Layer Ingredients: Spread a generous amount of chipotle yogurt sauce on both halves of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half, followed by the chicken patty.
- Add Toppings: Top the patty with slices of tomato, red onion, and extra avocado if desired.
- Complete the Burger: Place the top half of the bun over the toppings. Serve immediately with a side of your choice.
