In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and panko breadcrumbs.
Gently mix the ingredients by hand until evenly distributed, taking care not to overwork the meat to maintain a tender texture.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties approximately 3/4-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Add the patties to the pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the bun bases and adding desired garnishes such as avocado or red onion.
