Creating the Bold and Spicy Chipotle Chicken Burger at home is a breeze. Follow these simple steps for the perfect burger:

1. Combine Chicken and Spices: In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, chipotle sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.
3. Preheat Grill or Skillet: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil if using a skillet.
4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
5. Toast the Buns: If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6. Assemble the Burger: Start by placing the cooked chicken patty on the bottom half of the bun. Fold in shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and avocado.
7. Add Sauces: Drizzle some additional chipotle sauce over the toppings to add extra flavor.
8. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro, place the top bun on, and enjoy your delicious burger!
