SMASHED AVOCADO-CHICKEN BURGERS



Smashed Avocado-Chicken Burgers image

These zippy chicken burgers are loaded with ginger, garlic, cilantro and scallions for fresh flavor and some textural crunch. The secret ingredient is a little mashed avocado that's added to the ground chicken before cooking, which keeps the burgers tender and light. A citrusy soy mayonnaise is used both inside the patties and slathered on top. (Fish sauce could be used in place of the soy. Decrease the amount and adjust to taste.) Kewpie is a Japanese mayonnaise made with rice wine vinegar and egg yolks rather than distilled vinegar and whole eggs, but you can just as easily use your preferred mayonnaise. Fresh jalapeños offer a satisfying crunch when biting into the burger, though pickled ones could be used for extra acidity.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup Kewpie or other mayonnaise
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 lime, cut into wedges
Kosher salt
1 packed cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped, plus more for serving
1/4 cup mashed, ripe Hass avocado (from about ½ avocado; slice the other half for serving) (see Tip)
2 scallions, light green and white parts only, thinly sliced
3 large garlic cloves, grated or minced
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, grated or minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1/4 to ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes, according to taste
1 pound ground chicken, preferably dark meat
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola oil, or ghee
4 brioche or burger buns, lightly toasted
Butter lettuce or other tender lettuce, for serving
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small serving bowl, combine the mayonnaise and soy sauce. Season with the juice of 1 lime wedge and salt as needed.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mash and thoroughly combine the chopped cilantro, mashed avocado, scallions, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the soy-lime mayonnaise. Add the chicken and gently combine. Form into 4 large balls.
  • Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium heat until very hot, 1½ to 2 minutes. Add the neutral oil or ghee, then add the chicken meatballs, spacing them out in the pan. Use a metal spatula to press them until they form ½-inch-thick patties. Cook without moving for 3½ to 4 minutes, until a deep golden crust has formed and they easily release from the pan. Flip the patties using the spatula and cook until done with a nice crust on the other side, about 3 minutes more. If the patties need more time, cover the pan and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid scorching.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over the patties and serve sandwiched between the buns topped with lettuce, a healthy slathering of the lime-mayonnaise, avocado slices, jalapeño slices if using, and cilantro sprigs, if desired. Serve with the remaining lime wedges and mayonnaise on the side.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a better flavor than unripe avocados. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should give slightly to the touch.
  • Toast the buns: Toasting the buns will help them hold up better to the burgers and prevent them from getting soggy.
  • Use a good quality chicken breast: The chicken breast is the main ingredient in these burgers, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for chicken breasts that are free-range and organic.
  • Cook the chicken breast properly: Chicken breast can easily be overcooked, so it's important to cook it carefully. Cook the chicken breast over medium heat until it is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The toppings are what really make these burgers special. Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

These open-faced chicken avocado burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of juicy chicken, creamy avocado, and tangy salsa is sure to please everyone at the table.
