Dice onion and bell pepper. Set aside.
Chop boneless, skinless chicken thights into 2" pieces.
In a skillet over medium high heat melt the coconut oil and add the diced onion and diced bell pepper.
Saute until the onion is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
In your food processor, place the chopped chicken thighs and hit pulse 20 – 25 times until the chicken is coarsely ground. Note, you don’t want to just hit automatic and walk away as the texture will be more like a sausage and not like nice hamburger if you do this.
Add in the spices and hit pulse 5 – 8 times until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into a bowl and with a spoon mix in the sauteed onions, bell pepper and pepper jack cheese. Shape into four 4″ chicken patties.
Place a skillet over medium high heat and add the chicken patties.
Grill until golden brown, roughly 6 – 8 minutes and then flip and repeat.
Serve on a Paleo hamburger bun or lettuce wrap and top with your selected toppings.
