D made these quickly. He used a grill pan, not the grill.

The burgers were huge and very good. Will have again. We had with Tater Tots.

* 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
* 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
* salt and pepper to taste (added a tomato)

* 1 pound ground chicken breast
* 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers, drained
* 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded if desired and finely diced
* 3 green onions, finely chopped
* 1 tablespoon dried oregano
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* ground black pepper to taste (added bread crumbs for a binder)

* 4 slices Cheddar cheese
* 4 hamburger buns, split
* 1 cup shredded lettuce
* 1/3 cup salsa

Directions
1. To make the guacamole, place the avocado, cilantro, sour cream, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor and pulse until smooth..
2. Mix chicken, canned chiles, jalapeno pepper, green onions, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill each patty 5 minutes per side, until well done. Move the patties to a cooler area of the grill to keep warm, and top each patty with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Lightly grill the buns while the cheese is melting.
5. Spread the bottom of each bun with guacamole, and top with 1/4 cup of shredded lettuce and a grilled chicken burger. Spoon 1 tablespoon of salsa on each burger and top with the other half of the bun to serve.
