Ingredients
CHICKEN BURGERS:
- 2 (1-1/2 lbs.) boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise
- Dan's Sweet & Spicy Rub or your favorite rub
- BBQ sauce for brushing
- 1 red onion peeled & sliced thinly
- olive oil for brushing
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- 4 Iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 beefsteak tomato sliced thinly
- 8 strips bacon cooked crispy
- 4 hamburger buns toasted
HOMEMADE GUACAMOLE:
- 3 avocados mashed
- 1 T. lime juice
- 1/4 c. Pico de Gallo
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make guacamole, cook bacon, and prep all ingredients before you begin to grill.
- GUACAMOLE: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork (I like my guacamole a little chunky). Stir in lime juice and Pico de gallo; season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp; remove to a paper towel lined plate to remove excess grease.
- Preheat your outdoor grill to medium.
- CHICKEN BURGERS: Cut chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 pieces, Season the chicken on both sides with your favorite rub. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes, and then flip to the other side. Brush with BBQ sauce. Cook for another 3-5 minutes. Brush the other side with BBQ sauce. (Use a thermometer to check for doneness, the internal temperature should be 160 degrees.)
- Meanwhile, brush the onion slices with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and add to the grill with the chicken; cook for about 4-5 minutes flipping once.
- Toast the hamburger buns along with the onions. Remove from the heat.
- To Assemble: Spread a little BBQ sauce on the bottom bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, grilled onion, grilled chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, tomato and bacon. Spread guacamole on the top bun and cover the burger. Spear with a bamboo stick to hold everything together. Now devour!
