I'm not a big fan of avocado, but I really enjoyed these burgers. The avocado added a creamy richness that really complemented the chicken.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use less chipotle mayo next time.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I made it with grilled chicken one time and pan-fried chicken another time, and both versions were delicious.
