Ingredients 

1lb ground chicken

2 green onions, chopped

1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper

2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 lime, cut in half

4 slices pepper jack cheese

4 buns, toasted

For the guacamole:

1 avocado

garlic powder

salt & pepper

 

Preparation 

1. 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.

2. 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 thin bun, then top with guacamole.

3. For the guacamole: Mash all ingredients together with a potato masher or fork.
