Use your hands to form 4 chicken burger patties. Wet your hands with cold water in between forming each patty to make sure the patties don't stick to your hands. (See notes if you want to make 6 burgers).
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet, and carefully place the burgers in the hot oil, pressing down gently in the center with your hand to spread them out. Cook for 4-5 minutes over medium-low heat, or until the bottom is golden brown.Carefully flip the burgers and cook for 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature is at least 165F.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Prepare the guacamole by combining all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix all the ingredients. Adjust salt to taste.
Toast the buns, and assemble the burgers, spooning a generous portion of guacamole over each burger.
Notes
This recipe makes 4 large chicken burgers, or 6 thinner chicken burger patties. If making 6 patties, you might need to cook them in two batches or in two skillets.
If making 6 patties, I recommend scaling up the guacamole recipe by 1.5 or 2x, to make sure there is enough guacamole for all 6 burgers.
The nutrition facts are estimated for 4 burgers patties and guacamole divided evenly, and do not include buns or any other toppings.
