It’s Memorial Day weekend which means it’s time to fire up your bbq and get grilling! You can’t go wrong with these ground chicken burgers with swiss and guacamole. We switched it up and decided to go with ground chicken instead of turkey or ground beef. We love the guacamole and swiss with the ground chicken, it’s the bomb diggity dong. By the way, how cute are these little red baskets and adorable star paper? Thank you Dollar Store and Target, you never disappoint!! Anything that looks this adorable and makes clean up a cinch is a good combo and a definite must have.
I know we say this all of the time but these burgers are so easy. If ground chicken isn’t on the shelf at your grocery store just ask the butcher and they can run some chicken breasts through the grinder. Mix the ground chicken breast meat with some fresh basil and flat leaf parsley, garlic, a dollap of greek yogurt and S&P. Fold it all together until mixed and form into patties. Sounds easy enough, right? Grill up the chicken patties, top them with a slice of swiss and some fresh guacamole all inside a flakey brioche bun and you are in juicy burger heaven! If you are trying to cut the carbs, substitute the brioche bun for large lettuce leaves as the bun and you still have yourself one tasty burger. We served these alongside some hand cut oven baked fries. This is Memorial Day grilling made simple and delicious!

So good! We just made tonight and everyone loved. Great idea about the yogurt to keep them from drying out.
