COCONUT BASIL CHICKEN BURGERS WITH THAI PEANUT PESTO

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
• For the slaw: Whisk together the lime juice and sugar in a medium-sized bowl to dissolve the sugar. Add the pear and carrot and toss to coat. Cover and chill until serving time.
• For the pesto: Place all of the ingredients except the tomatoes in a small food processor; process briefly until the mixture forms a coarse paste. Transfer to a small bowl and gently stir in the tomatoes. Cover and set aside.
• For the patties: Combine the coconut milk, lime zest, and lime juice in a 10-inch fire-proof skillet. Place the skillet on the grill rack and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and reduced to 2/3 cup, about 15 minutes. Add the curry paste to the mixture and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl to cool.
• Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled coconut milk mixture, basil, panko and salt. Using a large fork, mix the ingredients together gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the buns, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
• When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the patties, cover, and cook an additional 4 minutes, or until the juices run clear from the center of the patties when pierced. During the last few minutes of cooking, arrange the buns, cut side down, around the edges of the grill to toast lightly.
• To assemble the burgers: Distribute an equal amount of the slaw on the bottom buns. Top each with a patty and a dollop of the pesto. Add the bun tops and serve.

PAD THAI STYLE CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine all your ingredients in a medium bowl until consistent in texture (the mixture will be moist).
• Heat a medium to large skillet over medium heat. Spray with non-stick spray.
• Divide the mixture into four and place each portion into the pan shaping with a spatula into a round burger that is no more than 1/2-3/4" thick (you may do this with your hands as well, I just prefer to use the spatula and keep the chicken off my hands). If you prefer a thicker burger, increase the cooking time.
• Cover with a lid and cook each side for approximately 7 minutes or until the juices run clear and the burgers reach 170 degrees.
• Serve with mayo on a fresh round roll and enjoy.

THAI CHICKEN BURGERS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE RING

Steps:

• With your hands, mix together the ground chicken with all the other ingredients except for the peanut butter. After the meat mixture is well mixed, divide into four equally sized balls. Make an indentation in each ball with your thumb. Add one Tablespoon of peanut butter in each of the four holes made in the balls of meat mixture. Then, carefully close the top opening of each hole so that the peanut butter is wrapped completely by the meat. Next, flatten the balls to form burger patties. Grill over medium-hot grill for 10-15 minutes, turning burgers halfway through. For Pineapple: sprinkle each pineapple slice with about a tablespoon of brown sugar and grill over open flame for 1-2 minutes on each side. Top each burger with a grilled pineapple ring and sliced cucumbers. Serve on top of a hamburger bun or between slices of thick toast.
