Instructions

  1. Prepare Chipotle Salsa: Preheat grill to medium-hot. Grill tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, and garlic 10 minutes, or until charred and softened. Let cool. Peel garlic.

  2. In a food processor, finely chop garlic; add tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, and pulse, just until finely chopped. Pour into a bowl; stir in cilantro, chipotle, salt, and sugar.

  3. Prepare Burgers: In a bowl, mix chicken, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, scallion, chile powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well blended. With lightly moistened hands, shape into 4 burgers (about 3/4-inch thick).

  4. Oil grill and spray burgers with nonstick spray. Grill burgers 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Grill corn cakes until toasted on both sides.

  5. To assemble burgers, top each corn cake with a burger, a spoonful of salsa, and sliced avocado. Serve with remaining salsa on the side. Garnish with cilantro.

Why this Tex-Mex Chicken Burgers works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Tex-Mex Chicken Burgers that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
