    Can't decide between having chicken or a burger? Have both when you purchase a few pounds of budget-friendly ground chicken. This chicken burger boasts loads of flavor, especially when topped with a pile of tender caramelized onions, sliced avocado, and creamy mayonnaise.

    Chicken Burger With Balsamic Caramelized Onion

    Great things take time, and the same is true for caramelizing onions. The tastiest caramelized onions require at least 30 minutes of low and slow heat.

    When the onions are caramelized, they will take on a rich brown color. Be sure to stir them while they're cooking in the pan to avoid burning the onions.

    If you want your burger to be wrapped up like a classic burger, wrap it in lettuce or serve on a portobello mushroom.  While the grill is hot, cut up a bunch of sweet potato wedges and toss on the grill. Serve with a cool salad!
