CHICKEN BURGERS WITH MANGO-AVOCADO SALSA
Remaining salsa can be served with tortilla chips—you’re not going to want
one bite to go to waste.
Makes 6 burgers; 3 cups of salsa
1. Put cut chicken thigh pieces into the freezer for
30 minutes to slightly harden.
2. While thighs are in freezer, prepare salsa:
Insert the Large Chopping Blade into the Large Work Bowl.
With the food processor running on high, drop the
jalapeño through the small feed tube to finely chop. Add
the cilantro and pulse to roughly chop, about 6 times.
Remove the large blade and insert the Dicing Grid and
Disc. Dice the avocados, followed by the mango. Remove
the Dicing attachment. Add the salt and lime juice to the
mixture. Gently fold and transfer to a medium bowl. Taste
and adjust seasoning as desired. Cover with plastic wrap
and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
3. Wipe down the Large Work Bowl. Re-insert the Large
Chopping Blade and add the green onions to the bowl.
Pulse to roughly chop, about 6 times. Once 30 minutes
have elapsed and the chicken pieces are slightly firm but
not hard, add the chicken thighs to the bowl. Add the salt
and pepper. Pulse until medium fine, about 16 times.
Form into 6 even patties.
4. To cook chicken patties, preheat oven to 350°F.
Heat oil in a large nonstick pan. Once oil is hot, add 3 of the
chicken patties, being careful not to crowd the pan. Brown
each side until a nice, golden brown crust forms, then
transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining patties
and finish cooking in the oven until the internal tempera-
ture reaches 165ºF. Remove from oven and let stand for 5
minutes.
5. Serve, topped with Mango-Avocado Salsa and a lime
wedge. May also be served on a soft bun like brioche
or potato.
