Description
A delicious burger featuring ground chicken patties topped with grilled pineapple, Swiss cheese, and a tangy teriyaki glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs (680 g) ground chicken
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 pineapple rings (fresh or canned, drained)
- 4 slices Swiss or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 4 brioche buns, toasted
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water (slurry)
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- Pinch of garlic powder
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, mix ground chicken with green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.
- Heat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Add cheese slices in the last minute of cooking.
- While patties cook, grill pineapple rings 1–2 minutes per side until lightly caramelized.
- Lightly butter and toast the brioche buns until golden.
- Spread a spoonful of teriyaki glaze on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce, chicken patty with cheese, grilled pineapple, avocado slices, and more glaze. Top with bun and serve.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken patties for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Substitute any vegetable of your choice for the avocado if desired.
- Feel free to use turkey instead of chicken for a leaner option.
