Description

This Chicken Burgers with Avocado Corn Salsa recipe offers a delicious and fresh twist on classic chicken burgers. Juicy ground chicken patties are seasoned with scallions, cheese, and mayo, then grilled to perfection. Topped with a zesty avocado and corn salsa infused with lime and cilantro, this meal is perfect for a quick and flavorful summer dinner or backyard BBQ.

Ingredients

Chicken Burgers

  • 1 ½ lb ground chicken meat (thighs preferred)
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Gouda, Provolone)
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Avocado Corn Salsa

  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • 1 ear of fresh corn, kernels removed
  • ⅛ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken Mixture: Place the ground chicken in a large bowl. Add the shredded cheese, chopped scallions, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Form Patties: Shape the chicken mixture into evenly sized patties, ensuring they hold together well for grilling.
  3. Grill Chicken Burgers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Prepare Avocado Corn Salsa: Cut the kernels from the fresh corn ear. In a bowl, combine the corn kernels with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine without mashing the avocado.
  5. Serve: Place the grilled chicken burgers on buns or plates and top each with a generous scoop of avocado corn salsa. Enjoy immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can toast the burger buns on the grill before assembling.
  • Substitute ground chicken thighs with ground chicken breast for a leaner option.
  • If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen corn kernels can be used after thawing.
  • To keep patties from sticking, lightly oil the grill grates before cooking.
  • Leftover avocado salsa can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours but is best fresh.
