Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium optional)
  • 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 thick fresh pineapple slices
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Leafy greens or lettuce
  • Soft burger buns (toasted)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ¾ inch thick patty. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and lime juice. Refrigerate until serving.
  4. Brush pineapple slices with olive oil.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Grill chicken patties for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on patties.
  7. Grill pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized with grill marks.
  8. Toast burger buns cut side down on the grill until golden and crisp.
  9. Assemble burgers by spreading sweet chili mayo on bottom bun, adding lettuce, grilled chicken patty, grilled pineapple slice, avocado slices, and topping with the bun.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the chicken to keep patties tender. Let patties rest before grilling to develop flavor. Grill pineapple last to avoid drying out. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps. For dairy-free, substitute mayo with vegan alternative. Adding finely chopped onion or grated carrot to chicken mix can increase juiciness.
