Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 green onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 4 pineapple slices (fresh or canned)
• 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices
• 4 red onion slices
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place the chicken patties on the grill and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the patties from the grill and set aside.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, grill the pineapple slices for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they develop grill marks and are slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a chicken patty. Drizzle or brush each patty with a tablespoon of teriyaki sauce.

Step 8

Top each chicken patty with a grilled pineapple slice, a tomato slice, and a red onion slice. Place the top bun on each burger.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors of your Hawaiian Chicken Burgers!
