Avocado Chicken Burgers

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

500g/ 1.2 lb ground chicken (mince) (Note 1)

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 egg

3/4 cup parmesan (, finely grated, Note 2)

1 cup green onion (, finely sliced, ~2 stems)

2 garlic cloves (, minced)

1/2 tsp dried sage (Note 3)

1/2 tsp salt and pepper (, each)

2 tbsp olive oil

4 soft burger buns or brioche buns

1 avocado (big!) (or 2 medium)

60g / 2 oz rocket / arugula or other lettuce of choice

2 tomatoes (, sliced)

4 slices Swiss cheese (or other cheese)

Mayonnaise, relish, ketchup or tomato sauce (to smear lid)

French fries

Baked potato wedges

Directions

Chicken Burger Patties

Place Pattie ingredients in bowl, mix well with hands.

Form 4 patties, 1.5cm / 3/5" thick, slightly larger than the buns (shrinks slightly). If mixture is super sticky (Note 4), either refrigerate mixture for 30 minutes, or wet hands or lightly spray hands with oil (I do this).

Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add patties, working in batches. Cook for 2 minutes or until deep golden, then flip.

After 1 minute, top with a piece of cheese and place lid on to melt cheese.

Once cheese is melted, remove patties from skillet.

Assemble

Split buns and lightly toast in oven or under broiler/grill.

Cut avocado in half, scoop out a generous amount then "smash" it on the base of the bun with a fork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Top with Chicken Pattie, then rocket/arugula and tomato.

Smear the top bun with mayonnaise (or relish, ketchup, other condiment of choice) and place lid on bun.

Devour and be happy!
