Servings: Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chicken (preferably dark meat/thigh)
- 2 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
- 1 chipotle pepper, canned in adobo sauce, chopped (seeds removed for less heat if desired)
- 2 Tbsp. almond flour (may replace with oat flour or finely ground oats for nut-free)
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ⅛ tsp. black pepper
- 1 cup finely shredded Organic Valley Mild or Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Optional: Gluten-free buns, lettuce leaves, a bed of greens, sliced red onion or Quick Pickled Onions, tomatoes, avocado and/or mayo for topping and serving.
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.*
- Place ground chicken, green onions, chipotle pepper, almond flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix with a large spoon or your hands to combine.
- Add shredded cheese and mix again to distribute cheese throughout.
- Divide chicken mixture into 4 portions and pat into patties about ½-inch thick. Wetting your hands with a little water will make this easier.
- When the grill is hot, cook burgers 5-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in the center or an instant-read thermometer reads 165℉.
- Remove burgers from the grill, serve on buns, lettuce wraps, over a bed of greens, etc. with desired toppings.
*Burgers can also be cooked on the stove in a skillet or broiled in the oven. Cooking time will vary depending on the method used. Cook until no longer pink in the center or an instant-read thermometer reads 165℉.
