Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped (for mayo)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for mayo)
  • 4 burger buns, toasted
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced red onions
  • Pickled jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lime juice, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix until all ingredients are well blended.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a burger patty about ¾ inch thick.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Cook patties for about 5 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with one chopped chipotle pepper, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Stir until combined.
  5. Toast your burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Spread some chipotle mayonnaise on each bun. Place cooked chicken patties on top and add desired toppings such as lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and pickled jalapeños.
