Creating the Chicken Avocado Burger with Chipotle Yogurt Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chipotle Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
2. Mix the Chicken Patty Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, mashed avocado, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
4. Heat the Pan: In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
5. Cook the Patties: Add the chicken patties to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns in a separate pan or on a grill until golden brown.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Place a cooked chicken patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a generous dollop of chipotle yogurt sauce and a handful of mixed greens.
8. Finish and Serve: Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Avocado Burger!
