Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Total Time 25 minutes mins
Ingredients
- ½ of a red onion dicey-diced
- 1 lb. of ground chicken
- 1 ½ tsp. of chili powder
- 1 egg white
- 1 medium-sized avocado dicey-diced
- The juice of 1 lime (or about 2 tbsp. of lime juice
- As much cheese curds as you’d like….because you are gonna nibble on them while you cook
Optional Salsa Sauce:
- 1 container of salsa
- 1 container of sour cream
Instructions
- Combine half of the red onion, the egg white, 1 tsp. of the chili powder, and the ground chicken. Shape into 4 burgers and then refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
- While waiting, combine the avocado, cucumber, lime juice, remaining onion, and remaining chili powder. Divide that equally on 4 plates.
- Mix the salsa and sour cream to your desired consistency. I like mine more creamy than salsa-y.
- Spray a big ass skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Cook each burger for 5 minutes in the skillet.
- Flip the burgers over and add a few cheese curds to the top of each. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melty (and chicken isn’t pink).
- Plop the burgers on top of the salads. Add a dollop of the salsa sauce.
- Eat it.

Brian Gerard (Lewandowski) writes books critics call "aggressively adequate"—better than "aggressively terrible" but somehow more concerning. He once traded a MetroCard for a pitchfork on a subway platform and now uses it exclusively for dramatic pointing. He lives on a farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia with three disappointed potted plants, a judgmental pig named Trouble McFussbucket, and a wife who smiles politely at his life choices.

His first manuscript was composed entirely of punctuation marks and confused sketches. He's since published "Not Bukowski" (poems that don't rhyme) and "Slop and Swell from a Festering Mind" (essays so concerning that bookstores check on his well-being). He once spent three hours photographing a rare bird that turned out to be a plastic bag, and he's the only person banned from church bake sales for "weaponized brownies." Inheriting absurdism from Vonnegut and Adams, sprawling narratives from Irving, and weaponized failure from Moore, he writes about conflicted everymen struggling through supernatural chaos.
He has two new, offbeat novels waiting for an agent or a publisher: "Truth Tastes Like Pennies" and "Elliot Nessie."
He remains unconvinced that birds aren't surveillance drones.
More biographic lies...err...info.
