Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 ½ cups shredded cabbage
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 (8 ounce) container light sour cream
• 1 large avocado - halved, pitted, and peeled

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix chili powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, minced garlic, and black pepper together in a small bowl.

Step 2

Sprinkle 3/4 of the chili powder mixture over ground chicken in a large bowl. Add egg; mix well and shape into 4 patties.

Step 3

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill patties until browned and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

Mash avocado in a small bowl; season with garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Step 5

Mix remaining chili powder mixture, sour cream, and shredded cabbage together in a bowl to make coleslaw.

Step 6

Toast Kaiser rolls lightly on the grill. Place chicken patties on the buns. Top each patty with mashed avocado, a large scoop of coleslaw, and sliced tomato.
