Ingredients

Burgers

1 pound ground chicken
2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
1 egg
1 tbsp almond flour
1 clove garlic crushed
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
2 tbsp coconut aminos (or tamari/soy sauce)

Chipotle Mayonnaise

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp lime juice
1 tbsp Chipotle peppers in Adobo Sauce
1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Toppings

1/2 pineapple peeled and cut into 6 1-inch slices
1 red onion cut into 1 inch slices
1 head lettuce leaves
1 tomato cut into slices
4 slices bacon cooked until crisp and cut in half

Instructions

To prepare the chipotle mayonnaise, combine the ingredients listed in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
In a bowl combine the ingredients for the burgers and use your hands to mix it together. Shape the mixture into four patties approximately 3/4 inch in thickness around the outside and slightly thinner in the middle for more even cooking.
Heat a barbecue or grill pan to medium high heat and brush with oil. Depending on the size of your grill, start with the red onion and pineapple and grill each for approximately 3 minutes per side until soft and grill marks form. Once cooked set aside. Next add the patties and cook for 4 minutes per side until they are completely cooked through.
To prepare the lettuce "buns" cut the iceberg lettuce into quarters and pull the leaves out from the inside to separate each quarter into two halves.
To assemble the burgers spread the chipotle sauce on the inside of the lettuce. Top with a grilled slice of pineapple, 2 pieces of bacon, chicken patty, slice of tomato and the grilled onion. Drizzle with more chipotle mayo and finally place the other half of the lettuce leaf on top like a sandwich. Wrap the burger in parchment paper to make it easier to eat.
