Best Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Burgers Recipes

PINEAPPLE-TERIYAKI CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground chicken, bell pepper, pineapple, garlic, 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, green onion, salt, and ginger together in a bowl. Make 6 equally portioned balls out of the mixture.
• Heat a large cast iron or ceramic nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil to the hot skillet and heat for 3 minutes. Place 2 to 3 balls into the skillet and flatten out with a spatula; cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the skillet and repeat to cook remaining burgers.
• Place burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, ketchup, and more teriyaki sauce if desired.
