INSTRUCTIONS
First, for
avocado mayonnaise, mix all ingredients in a blender on high speed until
smooth. Put aside.
Then, prepare
a grill or a grill pan and put on high heat. Add avocado oil to the broiler pan
if using.
Mix the
ground chicken with the seasonings, spinach, coconut flour, lime juice and
avocado oil until well combined.
Gently fold
in the avocado slices, being careful not to break them.
Form the
chicken into 4-5 burgers, spacing the avocado apart to make sure it is evenly
dispersed.
Grill the
burgers on the grill surface (using extra avocado oil if you fry them in a pan)
for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165
F.
Garnish with
optional avocado mayonnaise and serve in lettuce cups like a bun, or enjoy
burgers alone. Happy Cooking Time.
