Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 1.5 ounce packet taco seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 chipotle in Adobo plus 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce
  • 1 large lime
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • Black pepper for seasoning
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 cup watercress

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with the taco seasoning and mix in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 rounds.
  • Whisk together the mayo, chipotle and it’s adobo sauce, the lime juice, and cilantro in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add two of the rounds to the skillet at a time. Use a large flat spatula to press down hard on each patty for 2 minutes. Flip and top with a  slice of provolone cheese — the goal is a crisp, craggled super thin patty. Move the finished patties to indirect heat to keep warm. Repeat with smashing and cooking the remaining chicken rounds.
  • Toast the buns on the still hot griddle or pan. Build the burgers by topping each bun bottom with a chicken patty, chipotle cream sauce and a handful of watercress.
