    How to Make Smashed Chicken Burgers with a Zesty Twist

    1. Prepare Zesty Mayonnaise

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Add a squeeze of lime from a wedge and a pinch of salt, then set this zesty mayonnaise aside.

    2. Mix Herbs and Cheese with Seasonings

    In a medium bowl, mix the parsley, both grated and cubed Cheddar, minced shallot, garlic, cumin, and red-pepper flakes. Add a tablespoon of the Dijon mayonnaise you just prepared into the herb and cheese mixture.

    3. Form Chicken Patties

    Season the ground chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then gently combine it with the herby cheese mixture. Form the chicken into four equal-sized balls.

    4. Cook Chicken Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil. Place a chicken ball in the skillet and press it into a patty. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until a golden crust forms, then flip and continue to cook for about 3 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Top each patty with two slices of Cheddar cheese and cover to melt.

    5. Prepare Salad

    Whisk together the remaining lime juice, the rest of the Dijon mustard, and the olive oil in a large bowl. Toss with the torn lettuce, diced avocado, remaining parsley, and cubed Cheddar.

    6. Assemble Burgers

    Spread a generous layer of the reserved Dijon mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place a cheesy chicken patty on each, followed by a heap of the green salad. Cap with the top halves of the buns.
