Ingredients

Chicken Burger

8 COBS Herb & Garlic Gourmet Hamburger Buns
4 Chicken breasts, tenderloins removed
1 Green leaf lettuce
2 Avocados, firm
1 Beefsteak tomato, sliced thick
6 slices deli smoked ham, sliced
3 tbsp veggie oil
4 slices jalapeno jack cheese

Burger Seasoning

1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tbsp raw sugar
½ tbsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder

Chipotle Mayo

1 cup mayonnaise
1-2 tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce, pureed
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, finely minced

Directions

Make chipotle mayonnaise by mixing all ingredients together. Store in airtight container and let rest for 4 hours in fridge before serving
Make burger seasoning by mixing al ingredients in bowl
Take chicken breasts and slice in half length-wise. Brush both sides with 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and coat all sides in burger seasoning
Pit and cut avocado in to 1/2 cm thick slices. Brush both sides with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat. Place avocado slices directly on the grates and cook for 3-5 minutes each side, or until grill mark appears. At the same time, place ham slices on grates and grill for 1 minute per side.
Lower grill to medium heat. Place the chicken on the grill lightly. Pro Tip: remember to not press the breasts down so they attain maximum juiciness! Cook each side for 5-6 minutes, or until they reach 160C. When almost done, place 1 slice of cheese across each breast. Remove from heat and let rest
Toast hamburger buns for 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted
Start assembling burger by placing 2 tbsp of chipotle mayo on the top and bottom of the bun. Then add grilled avocado, chicken breast, ham, tomato, lettuce and top of bun. Serve immediately
