Instructions
1
Saut Aromatics
Start by heating a little oil in a small pan over medium heat. Toss in the red onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook until the onion softens and becomes see-through, about 5 minutes. Once done, set it aside to cool.
2
Prep and Mix Patties
While that’s cooling, fire up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick oiling so nothing sticks. In a big bowl, mix together the chicken, panko, teriyaki sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the cooled onion mixture and gently combine everything with your hands until it’s all evenly mixed. Shape the mixture into four patties.
3
Grill Burgers and Pineapple
Place the burgers on the grill and cook them for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked through. When they’re almost done, lay a slice of provolone on each patty so it can melt nicely. At the same time, throw on the pineapple slices and grill them for about a minute per side until they’re warmed through.
4
Assemble Pineapple Chicken Burgers
While the burgers and pineapple are finishing up, spread a little mayo on your buns. Then, assemble your burgers by placing the chicken patties on the buns, topping them with the warm pineapple, and adding some jalapeño slices for a bit of kick. Enjoy!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These burgers bring a fresh twist to classic chicken with sweet tropical flavors. The combination of juicy chicken and fruity ingredients makes every bite exciting and satisfying. They are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a casual gathering.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of crisp green salad or sweet potato fries to complement the tropical notes. Adding a slice of avocado or a dollop of spicy mayo can balance the sweetness and add creaminess. A chilled tropical fruit salsa also pairs nicely.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover cooked burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the patties separately before cooking and thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat gently to maintain flavor and moisture.
