# Ingredients List:
→ Chicken Patties
01 -
1 and a half pounds ground chicken thighs
02 -
A couple of scallions, diced up
03 -
1 cup shredded cheese (like Cheddar, Gouda, or Provolone)
04 -
A quarter cup mayo
05 -
Half a teaspoon salt
06 -
Half a teaspoon black pepper, ground
→ Avocado Corn Salsa
07 -
One ripe avocado, sliced
08 -
Kernels from one ear of fresh corn
09 -
A handful of cilantro, chopped up (about 1/8 cup)
10 -
Splash of olive oil (about half tablespoon)
11 -
Juice from half a lime
12 -
Salt and pepper—add to taste
# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Pile the salsa on top of the patties you just made. Eat right away while everything's fresh.
02 -
While the patties are working, slice the kernels off your corn. Throw the corn, avocado, and cilantro into a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, squeeze the lime over, sprinkle in some salt and pepper, and stir lightly. Just mix till it looks right.
03 -
Set patties on your grill (outside or on a grill pan). Give them about 5 minutes on each side. Make sure they're cooked all the way—no pink in the middle.
04 -
Grab roughly a big half-cup of chicken mixture for each one. Form them into even-sized rounds. Try to keep them the same, so they all cook right.
05 -
Toss your ground chicken, cheese, scallions, mayo, salt, and pepper into a bowl. Mix well, making sure everything's spread throughout evenly.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Don't go crazy mixing your chicken—too much and your patties won't stay juicy.
