A symphony of vibrant colors on a rustic wooden plate. Look at the toasted multigrain bun glistening with glossy avocado aioli. Nestled within is the moist, golden brown, grill-marked, chicken fillet. It's adorned with fresh, crunchy lettuce, a ruby-red tomato slice, melted pepper jack cheese, and fiery red onion rings. A pickle spear and baked sweet potato fries on the side add a fun dimension.

In a bowl, combine the mashed avocado, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the aioli. Mix them well and set aside for later use.

Additional

Fun fact: The origin of the hamburger dates back to the 19th century where German immigrants in America started selling ground beef patties known as 'Hamburg Steaks'. You can play around this recipe by adding other fast food favorites like turkey bacon or mushrooms or make it vegan by using a Portobello mushroom cap in place of the chicken breast.
