1 1/2 lb ground chicken meat (I prefer thighs)

2 scallions, chopped

1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Gouda, provolone)

1/4 cup mayo

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 large avocado, sliced

1 ear of fresh corn, husks and silks removed

1/2 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 lime, juiced

Directions

Chicken Burgers

Place the chicken into a medium mixing bowl. Add shredded cheese, chopped scallions, mayo, salt and pepper and mix everything well.

Using 1/2 cup as a measure, scoop the chicken mixture and form round shaped patties.

Using outdoor grill or a grill pan, cook the patties about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

While the burgers are grilling, prepare the Avocado Corn Salsa.

Avocado Corn Salsa

Using a sharp knife, remove the kernels from the corn cob.

Place the corn kernels, sliced avocado and cilantro into a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

Serve this Avocado Corn Salsa atop the Chicken Burgers.

Katie and Graces fave college dinner

You can also make this “deconstructed” by just not forming the burger pattys
