# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium heat, approximately 190°C.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine ground chicken, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, diced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro until uniformly incorporated. Carefully fold in diced avocado to prevent mashing.
03 -
Divide mixture evenly and shape into 4 burger patties, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
04 -
Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill patties for approximately 5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 74°C.
05 -
In a small bowl, blend Greek yogurt, adobo sauce, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
06 -
Serve patties on whole wheat buns with chipotle yogurt sauce and desired toppings such as lettuce, onion, tomato, salsa, or extra yogurt.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For a milder sauce, start with less adobo and add to taste. Only use 1–2 individual chipotle peppers, not the entire can.
02 -
Using almond meal or oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs provides a gluten-free option.
