    This Jalapeño Pepper Jack Chicken Burger is juicy, bursting with flavor, and super simple to make!

    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.  The roasted garlic mayo is so yummy I could pretty much eat it right from the container. But if you prefer a beef burger you've got to try my Smash Burger or Skillet Burger with Caramelized Onions.

    Chicken burgers cooked on a grill.Recipe Tips

    • Don't overmix the meat.
    • Separate the mixture into 8 even sections, then form them into patties and place them onto parchment paper.
    • The chicken mixture will seem a little wet but when they are placed on a hot grill they firm up nicely.
    • Sometimes I grill on my weber and often times on this Smokeless Indoor Grill.

     

    Can I fry these burgers?

    Sure, add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil to a hot skillet and place 3-4 patties at a time into the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes add cheese on top. Cover with a lid and cook another 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

    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, or even leave it off altogether.

      It doesn’t need an egg mixed in to hold it altogether ?

      My husband and I love these, make them quite often especially during the summer. Curious if anyone has tried doing stuffed peppers? I'm thinking of trying that but didn't know if anyone has and had any advice/tips.

      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:)
