Jalapeno Chicken Burger

Roasted Garlic gets done first. Cut off the one end of garlic, the pointy top part and place a head if garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle some olive oil over garlic, wrap the foil around the garlic and bake for 40 minutes at 400ºF or until garlic is soft. Squeeze garlic out of skin and place into a bowl. (I totally forgot to take pictures of the garlic roasted and of the garlic mayo.)

Mix roasted garlic and mayo together until well combined. Add salt and pepper, mix well. Cover and store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Preheat your grill.

In a mixing bowl add the ground chicken and the remaining ingredients, minus the avocado & mayo, and gently mix together. Divide the chicken mixture into 6-8 patties.

Lightly grease the grill grates. Cook each side for about 8 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165ºF.

Top with cheese in the grill if you’d like additional cheese. Top with fresh avocado, lettuce and tomato. Even extra jalapeno peppers if you’d like.
