Ingredients

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner fillets and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the marinated chicken fillets for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and grill marks appear.
5. While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes.
6. Assemble the burger by placing a grilled chicken fillet on the bottom half of each bun, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
