We are obsessed with these Jalapeño Pepper Jack Chicken Burgers with Roasted Garlic Mayo. The jalapeño, cilantro, and pepper jack cheese add so much flavor to the moist chicken burgers. I mean they are serious crowd-pleasers.
I have to admit I have never had a chicken burger before, I have tried a turkey burger before and it always seemed to be dry. Blahh! You will be absolutely amazed at how juicy and tender these burgers turn out. They are bursting with flavor and it's a nice change from the typical beef burger. The roasted garlic mayo is so yummy I could pretty much eat it right from the container.
When you shape the patties they do seem a little wet. But when they are placed on the hot lightly greased grill (I used a smokeless indoor grill ) they firm up nicely.
Roasting garlic is so easy and makes the perfect mayo for this chicken burger.
This roasted garlic mayo is so so good! Stores perfectly in the fridge for up to 5 days.
If you don't want to make guacamole you can just add sliced avocados.

Yay Alexis, it's one of my favorite burgers. If you like mayo you have to try the garlic aioli next time it's is really delicious:)
Made these tonight and omg. We were looking for a quick dinner so I did not do the garlic aioli and we just sliced up avocado. These did not disappoint. Definitely going to be a regular item. Thanks!!
