Ingredients
- 300 g chicken thigh fillets, coarsely chopped
- 200 g streaky bacon, coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 avocados
- salt and pepper, to season
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 brioche burger buns, split
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 red onion, very thinly sliced and soaked in iced water
- 4 leaves butter lettuce
- 1 ripe tomato, sliced
Sour cream burger sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (kewpie)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
- 1 tbsp finely chopped dill
- 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
Instructions
- Put the chicken in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the bacon and paprika and process until minced. Shape the mixture into 4 patties slightly larger than the diameter of your buns and create a small depression in the centre (this helps them stay nice and even as they cook).
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and fry the patties on one side for about 4 minutes, then turn and add the cheese to the top. Cook for a further 2 minutes or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, for the sour cream burger sauce, place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Mash the avocado with a little salt, pepper and lemon juice.
- Toast the buns and brush with a little melted butter. Spread the buns with a little of the sauce, top with the avocado, red onion, lettuce, tomato and a chicken and bacon patty.
