Spinach Avocado Chicken Burgers

Ingredients

For the Avocado Mayo (Optional)

• 2 medium avocados
• 4 tablespoons avocado oil
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For the Chicken Burgers

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 cup finely chopped spinach
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour (optional, helps hold the burgers together)
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil, plus extra for cooking
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 small avocado, diced into chunks
• Butter lettuce leaves, optional for serving

Instructions

1. Start by making the avocado mayo. Add the avocados, avocado oil, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, then set it aside.
2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high to high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, lightly coat it with avocado oil.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, spinach, cilantro, coconut flour, avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix everything until just combined.
4. Carefully fold in the diced avocado chunks so they stay mostly intact and don’t turn mushy.
5. Shape the mixture into 4 to 5 burger patties, making sure the avocado pieces are evenly spread throughout each burger.
6. Cook the burgers for about 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the burgers are nicely browned on the outside.
7. Serve the burgers wrapped in butter lettuce leaves or on their own. Add a generous spoonful of avocado mayo on top for extra creamy flavor.
