Very easy to make, yet so tender and tasty, these Chicken Burgers with Avocado Salsa are going to be loved by everyone!
I really love these Chicken Burgers with Avocado Corn Salsa. They make a quick and delicious dinner and require just a few ingredients and only 30 minutes of your time. It’s summer now; who has the time to cook?
Indeed, I cook only quick recipes during the summer months. A lot of salads, smoothies, and 20 minutes dinners. Oh! And corn on the cob! Can’t live without this Perfect Corn on the Cob recipe! I try to take long walks along the beautiful Atlantic Ocean every morning and I enjoy spending my afternoons reading a book in the park or traveling to nearby farms to pick cherries, strawberries, blueberries and other summer treats. So I don’t spend much time indoors. Can you blame me?

Back to our tasty chicken burgers. Since I don’t have an outdoor grill, I use my favorite nonstick grill pan to cook these burgers. Of course, I encourage you to use an outdoor grill, if you have one, for even more flavor.
Here is the ingredient list:
- 1 1/2 lbs. of ground chicken
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (Cheddar, Gouda)
- 1/4 of mayonnaise
- salt and pepper
1. Place the chicken meat into a mixing bowl and add scallions and cheese.
2. Add mayo, salt and pepper and mix everything well.
3. Using 1/2 cup as a measure, scoop the chicken mixture and form patties. Preheat large, non-stick grill pan with small amount of oil and cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare Avocado Corn Salsa by mixing sliced avocado, fresh corn kernels, chopped cilantro with lime juice, olive oil and some salt and pepper.
Serve these burgers topped with Avocado Corn Salsa. The flavors work really well together!

Eating locarb, any idea for a corn substitution?
Tania says
April 5, 2019 at 5:48 pmHi Kim! Just use diced cucumber or tomato instead. Thanks!
Alexandria says
May 16, 2017 at 5:22 pmCan I make this with ground turkey?
Tania says
May 16, 2017 at 8:59 pmHi Alexandria! Ground turkey will work also. Thanks!
Karen says
September 21, 2017 at 8:42 amCan you substitute Greek yogurt for the mayo??
Tania says
September 24, 2017 at 11:25 amHi Karen! I’ve never made it with yogurt. I think you can use it instead, but it will alter the flavor slightly.
Ashley says
September 9, 2016 at 3:00 pmThis looks awesome! Going to try and make them tomorrow! Any suggestions for some sides?
Tania says
September 10, 2016 at 9:09 pmif you don’t like avocado salsa, serve these with a scoop of mashed potatoes and fresh salad, Ashley. Let me know how you enjoyed these!
Leah N says
August 13, 2016 at 9:15 pmI made these for dinner. The flavor was AMAZING. Super simple and easy to make, i was very impressed! My husband loved it and my 2 and 4 year old ate them happily sans salsa. My only issue was that i had problems with the burgers sticking to the grill. I used my Le Creuset skinny grill and first i sprayed Pam, and they stuck… so for the next batch i brushed canola oil (with higher smoking point, i thought) and that was a little better but because of (i’m assuming) the cheese, they still stuck. for the third batch i put reynolds nonstick tinfoil on the skinny grill right over my burner and that was best. Does anyone have a trick for these not sticking? Would love to hear it! Otherwise, this is an awesome recipe – thanks so so much! Will definitely put this one in the rotation.
Tania says
August 14, 2016 at 10:04 amHi Leah! I use Neoflam Grill Pan and it is hands down THE BEST grill pan I’ve ever owned and I never had anything stick to it. Google this grill pan and buy it when you have a few extra dollars. You won’t regret. I am happy that you figured how to grill these burgers on your grill pan, and hope you’ll make this recipe again.
Zara says
August 11, 2016 at 8:21 amDo you cook the corn first?
Tania says
August 11, 2016 at 9:18 amHi Zara! I don’t cook the corn in this recipe.
Leah says
August 8, 2016 at 6:34 amCan’t wait to make these for dinner tonight! Do you have nutritional info by any chance?
Tania says
August 8, 2016 at 6:47 pmThnaks, Leah! I don’t provide nutritional info, but there are plenty online calculators that do that. Sorry, friend!
Michelle says
July 24, 2016 at 10:47 amDo you use all 3 cheeses? Cheddar, Gouda and Provolone??? Or were you just recommending either of those?
Thanks!
Tania says
July 24, 2016 at 7:42 pmEither one, Michelle! Thanks!

Natasha @ Salt and Lavender says
June 16, 2016 at 10:30 amYou make your chicken burgers similar to how I make mine… great minds think alike 🙂 These look great! I am with you… it’s important to spend as much time outside as possible. You’re so lucky you have the ocean right there! The river valley is the best I can do here… but all the trees are very pretty at least 🙂
Tania says
June 16, 2016 at 3:15 pmRiver valley works too, Natasha! Canada is such a gorgeous country, and I hope I’ll visit it one day. 🙂

Kate @ Babaganosh.org says
June 13, 2016 at 10:09 pmThese are lovely! I love the idea of topping chicken burgers with a fresh salsa! My grandmother taught me the secret mayo trick for chicken burgers (kotleti 🙂 ) to make them extra juicy and flavorful.
Tania says
June 14, 2016 at 5:09 pmThanks, Kate! I am in love with this Avocado Salsa. I’ve learned the mayo trick from my mom, and I use it often. 🙂
