Directions
Combine ground chicken, salt, and pepper in large bowl; do not overmix. Form mixture into 8 (3-inch each) patties; cover and refrigerate 10 minutes.
Prepare charcoal or gas grill with greased grill rack for direct cooking over medium heat (350 degrees).
To assemble patties, spoon 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture onto each center of 4 patties; add 2 mozzarella pearls to each. Cover cheese-topped patties with remaining patties. Gently press edges together to seal.
Grill patties 12 to 14 minutes or until patties reach 165 degrees, turning once halfway through. Grill buns, cut sides down, 30 to 60 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from grill.
To serve, top bun bottoms with lettuce, cooked chicken burgers, tomato, and avocado. Drizzle with sour cream mixture; place bun tops on burgers.
