Chicken Avocado Burger Recipe

CHICKEN AVOCADO BURGER _ KAITLYN MOORHEAD

I have been on a chicken nugget + mac & cheese bender for about 2 months now because it’s a huge pregnancy craving of mine! So, I wanted to lighten it up a bit this week [+ make a more nutritious choice] by meal prepping a leaner lunch. Really, I want to save the carbs for dinner!

So, I decided to experiment with making chicken avocado burgers. I tried making them 2 ways: the cast-iron pan + air fryer.

The cast-iron pan was annoying — just not for me. I felt like I was babysitting it + constantly checking/unsure if they were done. Also, they stuck like crazy to the pan.

I made a large chicken avocado burger in the air fryer + just flipped it halfway through. WOW — so good. They stayed together well + got slightly crispy on the outside, which I love.

If I didn’t do it this way, I would just bake them next time. I sure they would come out just fine. But, if you have an air fryer — definitely throw them in there!
