California Club Chicken Burgers
13
As you can tell, I’ve been on a bit of a burger kick lately. I love burgers, don’t get me wrong, but for some reason, I don’t make them all that often. I was brainstorming burger ideas when I thought of a sandwich I get at a local store that has chicken, bacon, avocado, and chipotle aioli. Of course, I always get it sans aioli, since you know my distaste for mayo. I decided to swap out the grilled chicken breast for a burger and the avocado for some guacamole and voila!
This burger was quite tasty and pretty healthy. Yes, there is bacon on it, but just one slice per burger. Guacamole/avocado is full of good fats, and I used chicken breast for the patties, so they were nice and lean.

Wow, that looks amazing good! I wish I could take a bite.
Now that is one burger!!! Love guac and bacon!
Looking gooooooooooooooooooooooood! Why didn’t I think of making a club sandwich style burger? Great idea.
this looks really yummy! (minus the bacon of course, i am not a canibal!) it looks so filling with all that guac, but also healthy and delicious.
Avocado makes anything better. This look amazing!
UMMM Wow. I second Jen’s comment. Plus Bacon. Need to make this!
Elly, I can always count on you to make me hungry every time I visit! Looks delicious!
Chicken burgers are my favourite. It looks amazing and must definitely try them with the guacamole but although I love bacon as well, I usually avoid it.
It is going to take a lot of effort to get you mouth and hands around that delicious burger. I will definitely not mind trying!!
I love the guacamole with the burger.
I made these last night with ground turkey instead of chicken and ooooomg! So so tasty!
So glad you liked them, GIllian!
