Spicy Chicken Burgers With Mango Salsa
Made with only a few simple ingredients, these spicy chipotle chicken burgers will be on the grill in no time. Topped with gouda cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, and mango salsa, they're just the right combination of spicy and cool.
Ingredient
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 1 large egg
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 mango - peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices gouda cheese
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
Direction
- Combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, lime zest, cilantro, garlic, and chipotle in a bowl. Shape mixture into four 1/4-pound patties.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Meanwhile, stir together chopped mangoes and the juice of the lime in a small bowl; set aside.
- Grill chicken burgers on the preheated grill until chicken is no longer pink inside, juices run clear, and burgers show browned grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- About 2 minutes before burgers are done, place hamburger buns onto the grill to toast, about 1 minute per side. About 1 minute before the burgers are done, top each burger with a slice of Gouda cheese, and let melt.
- Spread each bun with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and top with 1/4 cup shredded lettuce and grilled chicken burger. Spoon 1/4 of mango-lime mixture on each burger and top with the other half of the bun to serve.
