Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Garlic - 5 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce - 2 leaves
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Avocado - 1/2, sliced
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into burger-sized patties and add them to the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, cook the marinated chicken patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
4. While the chicken is cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden.
5. Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on each bun, placing a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked chicken patty, sliced tomato, and avocado.
6. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
