COPY CAT TRADER JOE'S CHILI LIME CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine chicken, green onions, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes and juice of half a lime in a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined, then form into 4 patties and spray each side generously with non-stick spray.
• Heat a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill burgers for 3-4 minutes a side, or until cooked all the way through. Place a slice of cheese on top of each burger, then cover with a large pot lid, and allow to melt for about a minute. Remove burgers to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Place each burger on a toasted bun then top with guacamole.
• For the guacamole: Mash all ingredients together with a potato masher or fork.

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, mince the bell peppers and chop the cilantro finely. Juice and zest the lime.
• In a large mixing bowl, add peppers, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, chili seasoning and dried onion flakes. Whisk together well and then set aside for 5 minutes.
• To the mixing bowl, add the ground and chicken. With clean hands or a heavy spoon, combine the ground chicken with the pepper mixture thoroughly without over-mixing the chicken.
• Divide the chicken burger mixture into 4 equal portions. Patty out each portion into a flat 1/2" thick chicken burger. Place burgers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and transfer to the freezer for 1 hour.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chilled burger patties to the skillet and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Let chicken burgers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
