1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
2
Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
3
Prepare the Guacamole
In a bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado, add lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth.
4
Make the Pico de Gallo
Chop 1 tomato, 1/4 cup of onion, and a handful of cilantro. Mix in a bowl with lime juice and salt.
5
Pickle the Onions and Jalapeños
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sliced red onion, 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños, and vinegar. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
6
Assemble the Burger
Spread aioli on the bottom half of the burger bun. Layer with lettuce, cooked chicken, guacamole, pico de gallo, and pickled onions & jalapeños. Top with the other half of the bun.
