Equipment

1 Air fryer
1 Mixing bowl

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken breast
1/2 small onion, grated
2 large garlic cloves, grated
1 tsp kosher salt
1 medium shallot, finely diced
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp lime zest
1 tbsp lime juice

Aioli

1/2 cup light mayo
1 small garlic clove
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp lime juice
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 large avocado, sliced
4 leaves butter lettuce
4 brioche buns

Instructions

Preheat air fryer at 380 degrees for five minutes while you make the burger patties.
Add the ground chicken to a medium bowl.Using the large grates on a grater, grate the onion and garlic over the chicken. Make sure to grate it over the chicken so you catch all the juice.
Add the salt, shallot, red pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, lime zest and lime juice to the ground chicken. Using your hands or a fork gently mix everything together just until combined. DO NOT OVER MIX.
Form the chicken mixture into four even patties.
Spray the bottom of the air fryer with non stick cooking spray. Place all four patties in the tray. Spray tops with more non-stick cooking spray. Cook at 380 degrees for six minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees.
While the burgers cook, make the aioli. Whisk mayo, garlic, cumin, lime juice, garlic powder and salt together in a small bowl. Season to taste.
Spread a little bit of the aioli on the bottom and top of each bun. Top the bottom of each bun with lettuce followed by a chicken patty. Layer on avocado and serve.
