Teriyaki Chicken Burgers

My family wasn't that thrilled with the taste of turkey burgers and I was watching my intake of beef. I started experimenting with ground chicken in my burgers and was mildly surprised with the outcome. The family likes these better than beef burgers! I usually make this when I bring the chicken home from the market. It makes for a quick meal on a weeknight. It just doesn't get any easier! These are served on Belle's® Hamburger Rolls which are totally off the hook!

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 pound ground chicken (preferably white meat)
• 2 grinds cracked black pepper
• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced (Optional)
• 5 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (such as Mr. Yoshida's®), divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Combine ground chicken and pineapple in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Mix jalapeno pepper, pressed garlic, and 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce into the chicken mixture. Continue mixing with your hands until evenly combined.

Step 3

Cook burgers on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes per side, basting the burgers with remaining 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
