Jalapeño Avocado Chicken Sliders
Posted on February 8, 2016 by Dr. G
The Super Bowl may be over, but there is still nothing better than a party with family, friends, and sliders! These have a touch of heat from the pepper and creamy texture from the avocado. Enjoy as sliders on gluten free buns or make mini meatballs for the whole team to enjoy!
Servings: 6 Burgers
Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1 ripe avocado
1 jalapeño
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
6 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions
- Dice the avocado into small cubes. Cut the jalapeño into dime-sized pieces.
- Add the avocado, jalapeño, salt, and pepper to the ground chicken and stir together gently as to not smash the avocado while still combining well.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts.
- If you’d like you can add one small slice of cheese (which I folded in fours to fit inside the burger) to the middle of the meat mixture.
- Heat your pan to medium heat and add the coconut oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the burger patties and cook for 12-14 minutes on each side, or grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side. The internal temperature of the chicken should hold steady at 165°F for a minute when finished.
Buon Appetito!
