Chicken Chipotle Burgers

Bryan requested chili burgers for dinner during his birthday week, however we decided to change it up a bit and try chicken instead of ground turkey. I used less meat (1 lb vs. 1.5 lb) but kept the seasoning and add in amounts the same. I think this added more flavor to the burger which I liked. These were moist and juicy. I definitely enjoyed them, however if you’re looking for more of traditional burger type taste, stick with the original ground turkey (or even beef if you so please).

Adapted from A Previous Recipe I Made

Ingredients
1lb chicken breast
2 tbsp pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 tbsp chopped onion
1 tsp chili powder
1/3 tsp salt
1 tsp ground coriander
Pinch black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
1.5 tbsp egg substitute
2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Directions
1. Add all ingredients to food processor. Pulse until chicken is ground and everything is well combined.

2. Form mixture into 4 even sized patties. Place patties on a piece of foil sprayed with cooking spray.

3. Carefully transfer foil with chicken patties to a preheated grill. Cook for 6 minutes a side. Flip directly onto grill grate and remove foil. Cook an additional 6 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink.

4. Serve on whole wheat buns with desired fixings. We enjoyed with sliced avocado, gruyere cheese and lettuce.
