1 pound ground chicken
2 ounces diced red bell pepper (about half a medium sized pepper)
½ ounces chopped green onion (about 2 green onions)
1 teaspoon garlic paste or finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup shredded cheese of choice (White cheddar or Mexican cheese blend recommended)
avocado spray, olive oil spray or similar

In a bowl combine chicken, peppers, onion, garlic, salt and pepper just until combine. Avoid over-working the mixture if possible. Divide mixture into 4 equal sections.
Form each section into a ball. Using the palm of your hand, gently flatten into a patty.
Spray the air fryer basket with oil spray. Place burgers in air fryer and also spray the top of the burgers. Set temperature to 380° F and time to 6 minutes. When 6 minutes is up, flip burger over and set air fryer for 3 more minutes. Using a quick read food thermometer, be sure internal temperature is 165°F, if not, add a minute or two of cook time until it is.
While the air fryer is still hot, sprinkle the cheese over the burgers. Close the air fryer but do not turn on. The residual heat should melt cheese in under a minute.
If desired, serve on buns with avocado slices or preferred garnish.
