Chicken Avocado Burgers ! Â Ground chicken with fresh chunks of avocado mixed right into the burger before grilling!
This is really a one of a kind burger! Â The avocado is mixed right into the ground chicken and becomes all warm and soft…it’s a burger bomb that’s super healthy and delicious!
 Why we love these Chicken Avocado Burgers!
- grill indoor or out
- super easy to make with simple ingredients, just the way we love it around here!
- the avocado gets all warm and soft when cooked inside the burger and lifts it to a whole new level of flavor. Â Who doesn’t love avocado!
- Paleo and Whole30 – this burger is a clean eating machine!
This has turned out to be the most viewed post on our blog…to say I didn’t see that coming is an understatement.  The reason for it’s popularity is because it is so Paleo and Whole30 friendly, not to mention super easy.

Make a double batch, you will be glad you did! Â Hellooo lunchbox!
How to make Chicken Avocado Burgers!
- I usually cook these on a grill pan indoors, it helps keep the meat moist…but you can certainly grill these outdoors. Â Just be careful not to overcook. Â I love this Grill Pan!
- When mixing the avocados and forming the patties – go gently to keep the avocado chunks intact. Â Using a more firm avocado will help as well.
- These will keep for several days in your fridge.  I have frozen them as well,  and the avocado holds up really great!  Wrap individually and store in freezer safe ziploc bag.
- Great add in is chopped Poblano (for a little heat) or chopped Jalapeno (for more heat!)
- Nutrition info is based on Panko crumbs.
Can I use ground turkey in place the ground chicken?
- Yes, and a lot of comments say it’s great! Â But ground all breast meat is dry. Â It is. Â Can’t change it. Â The avocado helps but fat free turkey tastes like fat free turkey. Â We recommend a blend of 93/7 ground turkey if you can’t find ground chicken.
A few other fast, fresh and fabulous meals for you to try that are Paleo and Whole30 Compliant!
Easy Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Rosemary! Â – switch out the red potatoes for sweet potatoes to kick it up!
30  Minute Chicken Puttanesca! – One pan and tons of flavor!  This comes together quickly and if your not an olive fan, no worries, just leave them out!

Pin RecipeA new twist on a Chicken Avocado Burger! Mix cubed avocado directly into your ground chicken for a super kicked up avocado flavor!
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 large ripe avocado - cut into chunks
- 1 clove chopped of garlic
- 1/3 cup Panko crumbs or Almond meal to keep it Paleo and Whole30 friendly
- 1 minced Poblano or Jalapeño pepper optional but recommended
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and toss gently.
-
Shape into desired size patties .
-
Grill 4-5 minutes on each side on an indoor grill pan or an outside grill at medium heat or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
For best results buy avocado more on the firm side.  This will ensure the chunks  stay intact during mixing and cooking.
We like a ground chicken that is 97/3. Â A little bit of fat makes these much tastier. Â Ground chicken breast can be dry.
Grill indoors or out. Â We love to use our indoor grill pan for this!
Wood evening just made these, so good. Just wondering if you knew what the nutrition values were. Thanks for a healthy great tasting recipe ????
Hi Valerie – I do not but I probably should compute it because I’m asked quite a bit. I’ll get to it this week but in the mean time there are recipe calculators available on line. Thanks!
I’ve made this recipe at least 3 times and it’s so delicious every time. Even made it for a more traditional burger eating crowd and they loved it! I use almond meal in the recipe.
Thanks for your note Adrianne! I love hearing that the almond meal worked for you!
Made these just as the recipe instructed on my George Foreman…5 stars for sure. I’ve been looking for recipes to help me out on my quest for weight loss and overall good health and this one is a winner. No fat drop out of these babies and they are very flavorful. Thank you!!
Wow, these were really tasty!!
I made these yesterday with ground turkey and they were delicious! I added a bit of cooked quinoa and an egg and subbed garlic powder for fresh garlic but still amazing! I would have never thought to put avocado in a burger, I usually add it on top after it’s been cooked.
If you have a Blendtec or similar, you can grind your own chicken. I did tht and it worked well. I added a small can of mild green chillies and served with homemade chutney and veggie skewers – yum 🙂
I tried these the other night and they are FANTASTIC! Our two toddlers devoured their burgers and wanted more – they actually ate more than my husband and I 😉 Thank you for the wonderful recipe and I can’t wait to dig through some of your other recipes to try!
If I don’t have a grill pan and an electric stove, what heat level should I cook these on and for how long? Looks like a great recipe! 🙂
Medium to Medium High. They don’t take long to cook. 4 minutes or so on each side should do it!
I love a burger that doesn’t need a bun. These look fantastic. I’ve linked to your recipe on my weekend healthy recipe roundup. Have a great weekend!
These were fantastic! I had to pan-fry them as I did not have a grill pan or access to an outdoor grill, but they were crispy and juicy just the same. The last four fared better than the first four, probably because I covered them and let them get all steamy/juicy. Added a chopped jalapeno as well for a little extra kick, and a few splashes of lemon juice as someone else suggested. The leftovers will be great for quick spinach salads!
Will definitely make again.
I made these last week, just using ground chicken, avocado, and garlic. They were pretty good! It was nice getting to have the flavours of a chicken avocado sandwich without the avocado slipping all around like it usually does.
I’d made again. 🙂
I added grilled fresh red bell pepper & sliced red onion. some great flavors going on right there!! A whole grain bagel thin bun is all you need or protein style, wrapped in crisp fresh lettuce.
