Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, diced red bell pepper, green onion, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic.
- Mix the ingredients gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
- Divide the mixture into four portions and roll each into a ball.
- Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Place the chicken balls in the skillet, cover with parchment paper, and press down firmly with a spatula to smash them into flat patties.
- Cook the patties undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
- Flip the patties carefully and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through.
- Toast the brioche buns until golden.
- Mix sriracha into mayonnaise to your desired spice level and spread it on both halves of each bun.
- Assemble the burger by placing two cheesy smash chicken patties on the bottom bun, topping with red onion slices and bacon, and then placing the top bun on.
