PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced roasted hatch chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Add the chicken patty to the skillet and cook for approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  During the final minute of cooking, place the pepper jack cheese on top of the patty and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
