Description
These avocado ranch chicken burgers are the perfect flavorful burger for summer, with a bit of hidden veggies!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup shredded zucchini (with the water squeezed out)
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (plus more if you’re frying or grilling)
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 1/2 tsp dried dill
- 2 tsp dried chives
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
- Juice of one lime
- 1 small avocado (or half a large avocado), diced into chunks
- Butter lettuce leaves (optional)
- Dairy-free ranch for serving (like this)
Instructions
- Prepare either a grill or a grill pan and set to medium-high heat. Grease the grill pan with avocado oil.
- Mix the ground chicken with the zucchini, seasonings, coconut flour, lime juice, and avocado oil until well combined.
- Very gently fold in the avocado slices, being careful to not smash them.
- Form the chicken into 4-5 burgers, spacing out the avocado to make sure it’s evenly dispersed.
- Grill the burgers on the grill surface (using extra avocado oil if frying in a pan) for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for a few minutes.
- Serve by themselves with a side or top with a ranch dressing of your choice.
