Chicken Burger with Green Chiles and Cilantro

Ground chicken can be a little lean and prone to drying, so we gave it a moisture boost (and a flavor kick) with canned green chiles and fresh cilantro. These juicy burgers are perfect for pairing with sliced avocado, cabbage slaw, or our mango salsa! https://laurazervos.com/mango-salsa/
