Ingredients
  

FOR THE BURGERS:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ⅓ cup whole wheat Panko bread crumbs use almond meal or roughly ground oatmeal to make gluten free
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce finely diced*
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from the can of chipotle peppers
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 large ripe avocado peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch chunks

FOR THE CHIPOTLE YOGURT SAUCE:

  • ¾ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons adobo sauce from the canned chipotle peppers above, or more to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste

FOR SERVING:

  • 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
  • Optional: lettuce or spinach, thinly sliced red onion, tomato, prepared salsa, nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium (about 375 degrees F).
  • In a large bowl, gently combine the chicken, garlic, breadcrumbs, diced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, salt, pepper, and cilantro until evenly combined. Carefully fold in the avocado. Shape into 4 patties.
  • Oil the grill, then cook burgers on each side for about 5 minutes, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • While the burgers cook, prepare the chipotle yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, adobo sauce, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve on top of the burgers, with additional toppings as desired.

Notes

  • *DO NOT use the whole can of adobo peppers—just one single pepper (or feel free to add two if you want more of a kick), along with the sauce in the specified amount. This ingredient can be found in the Hispanic section of most grocery stores.
