Avocado Chicken Burgers
Description
This recipe creates chicken burger patties by combining ground chicken with panko, grated Parmesan, fresh green onions, minced garlic, dried sage, salt, and pepper. After mixing, the mixture is shaped into patties slightly larger than the buns, then cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden on each side, with Swiss cheese melted on top near the end.
The assembled burgers feature a toasted bun base spread with mashed avocado seasoned lightly with salt and pepper, topped with the juicy chicken patty, fresh rocket or arugula leaves, and sliced tomato for brightness. The top bun is spread with mayonnaise or a condiment of choice, providing moisture and tang to the sandwich.
The recipe notes the versatility of the meat, allowing ground turkey or pork as alternatives. It also highlights the use of dried sage for a savory note and advises handling the sticky chicken mixture by refrigerating before shaping or wetting hands to ease patty formation. Parmesan should be freshly grated for the best texture.
Ingredients
Chicken Burger Patties:
- 500g/ 1.2 lb ground chicken Note 1, mince
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup parmesan , finely grated (Note 2)
- 1 cup green onion , finely sliced (~2 stems)

- 1 avocado or 2 medium, big
- 60g / 2 oz rocket or arugula or other lettuce of choice
- 2 tomato sliced
- 4 lices swiss cheese (or other cheese)
- mayonnaise to smear lid, or relish, ketchup, or tomato sauce

- potatoes baked wedges
Instructions
Chicken Burger Patties
- Place Pattie ingredients in bowl, mix well with hands.
- Form 4 patties, 1.5cm / 3/5" thick, slightly larger than the buns (shrinks slightly). If mixture is super sticky (Note 4), either refrigerate mixture for 30 minutes, or wet hands or lightly spray hands with oil (I do this).
- Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add patties, working in batches. Cook for 2 minutes or until deep golden, then flip.
- After 1 minute, top with a piece of cheese and place lid on to melt cheese.
- Once cheese is melted, remove patties from skillet.
Assemble
- Split buns and lightly toast in oven or under broiler/grill.
- Cut avocado in half, scoop out a generous amount then "smash" it on the base of the bun with a fork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Top with Chicken Pattie, then rocket/arugula and tomato.
- Smear the top bun with mayonnaise (or relish, ketchup, other condiment of choice) and place lid on bun.
- Devour and be happy!
Notes
- Ground turkey or pork can substitute for chicken in the patties as preferred.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for better texture and flavor in the patties.
- Dried sage offers a savory depth; it can be replaced with ½ teaspoon dried thyme or celery salt, or omitted if desired.
- If the chicken mixture feels too sticky to form, refrigerate it for 30 minutes or wet/oil hands before shaping patties.
- The recipe uses ground chicken from butchers as it tends to be less watery than supermarket-packaged versions, affecting mixture handling.
