Chicken Tequila Burgers

I made these last week and they were a hit! I'm actually adding them to our menu this week again!!I am just craving the yummy flavors this burger had! They were so easy to make! I served them with fries, apples and carrots - quick easy week night meal!
I made a few changes to the recipe. I did NOT grind my own chicken thighs -really! I bought ground turkey( which is all we really eat) instead of chicken. I did not have any tequila in the house but had vodka. I replaced the tequila with vodka.

Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½-1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 chicken breasts (about 1 lb. total)
3-4 tbsp. cilantro
Zest of ½ a lime
1 oz. tequila
Dash of soy sauce
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
½ cup panko bread crumbs

For serving:
Burger buns
Sautéed bell pepper and onion
Lettuce

Directions:
Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with olive oil. Combine the garlic, jalapeno, chicken breasts, cilantro and lime zest in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times until the chicken is uniformly ground. Mix in the tequila, soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste, and panko. Pulse a few more times until the ingredients are well blended.

Form the mixture into 4-5 patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Broil the burgers for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking to brown both sides. Check for doneness before serving. Serve on buns with sautéed bell pepper and onion, and lettuce as desired.
