SPICY GRILLED PINEAPPLE CHICKEN BURGER RECIPE
Perfect for a summer BBQ, these Hawaiian style chicken burgers are spicy and delicious. The fresh grilled pineapple, melted cheese and chipotle mayo give them the perfect finishing touch. A tasty and healthier alternative to standard, traditional grilled burgers.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground chicken breast
- 8 slices reduced fat Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 Sandwich Thins

- 1 small red onion - (thinly sliced)
- ⅓ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 small jalapeno - (seeded and minced)
- 4 garlic cloves - (minced)
- 2 tbsp Vegenaise or reduced fat mayo

- 1 tsp ground chipotle seasoning

I made the chicken burgers and they were so sticky I couldn’t work with them. I added another pound of meat and they were still too sticky. Other recipes for basically the same dish only call for 3 Tablespoons of soy sauce. I wonder if that is the problem, this recipe calls for 1/3 cup!!!
I just made the chicken burgers, and the mix was so sticky I couldn’t make the patties by hand, so I used a spoon and waxed paper. Did any one else have this experience?
This is the best WW recipie I’ve tried to date! So delishious!
Made these tonight, they were amazing, didn’t have the chipotle seasoning so I added chili pepper powder with some red pepper flakes, I also didn’t have a fresh jalapeno so I used jarred and it still turned out great!! Will be making this again!!
I found the ground chicken at Kroger right next to the ground turkey
These look so good and I would love to make them but cannot find ground chicken breast anywhere……can you tell me if you know where to buy it? I have a Sprouts, Kroger, Albertson’s, Von’s and Stater Bros. near by????????????
