“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!” - by ISLANDGIRLEJFAN

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken (preferably white meat)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 grinds cracked black pepper

Original recipe yields 6 burgers

Directions

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

"These were ok. I used teriyaki marinade because I had an open bottle in the fridge. That may have been why I was underwhelmed. This recipe has potential though. I will try it again and tinker with..." See more it. Maybe some kind of spiced mayo will do the trick. Thanks for sharing!"

"We add a few more jalapenos & throw them in the freezer while we heat the charcoal grill up to let them set a bit. Very yummy!..." See more"

"Pretty good! I was surprised that the consistency was a little 'wet'- and didn't hold shape like it would if it was just ground beef or chicken. But they still grilled fine- I used my indoor grill (p..." See morelates on top and bottom. I started just glopping it into a ball and the grill pressed it down nicely. Tasted better than just plain burgers. Probably will use more pepper next time (I didn't use jalapenos.)"
