If you’re looking for a great easy summer dinner, these grilled pineapple chicken burgers are it!  They are a perfect Hawaiian inspired dish to have you thinking of the tropics all day long.

I love a good weeknight burger and this recipe fits the bill.  It’s summery, fresh, filling and delicious.  You can make a double batch and enjoy these chicken burgers all week long or eat them all in one night.

Plus, anything on the grill is always a plus. You can use a grill pan or skillet if you don’t want to outdoor grill them.

Ingredients for grilled pineapple chicken burgers

What Ingredients do you need to make a grilled pineapple chicken burger?

  • Ground chicken- you could also use ground turkey or ground beef
  • Teriyaki sauce
  • Panko breadcrumbs
  • Garlic salt
  • Pineapple slices/rings
  • Coconut oil

Chicken burgers on a white platter

If you don’t have ground chicken, this burger would be great with ground turkey as well.  I love making burgers with ground turkey – like these sour cream and chive burgers and these skinny turkey burgers on bagel thins.  Either way, this grilled chicken burger is a healthier option to your typical red meat burger.

To keep these burgers juicy and add a ton of flavor, teriyaki sauce plays an important role.  Not only does it act as a binder, but gives the burger the perfect flavor.

Pineapple rings on the grill

And, if you want to add that extra bit of islandy goodness, that’s where the coconut oil comes into play.  Sure, you could use an alternative oil, but the coconut oil helps create perfect char marks and a touch of island-flavors (don’t worry, it’s not too over-powering at all!)

Grilled burger and toppings

If this burger isn’t already tempting you enough, let me tell you about the amazing sauce you top each burger with.  It’s a simple combination of mayonnaise, Sriracha and honey.  Combined, you’ll get the perfect mixture of sweet and spicy.

Servings: 4 burgers

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp. garlic salt
  • 4 slices/rings pineapple fresh or canned, drained (I prefer thicker fresh cut rings, they grill better!)
  • 1 Tbs. coconut oil melted (could use evoo), optional

To create sauce

  • 3 Tbs. mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. Sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 4 buns if you can find Hawaiian buns those are amazing, but any burger buns will work
  • 4 slices butter lettuce for serving

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix ground chicken, teriyaki sauce, Panko bread crumbs and garlic salt until just combined. Form into 4 burger patties and transfer to a plate. 
    Ingredients for grilled pineapple chicken burgers
  • Heat grill or grill pan to medium- high. If using a grill pan, use some olive oil or coconut oil to coat the pan so the burgers and pineapple don't stick to the pan. 
  • Place chicken burgers on grill and cook chicken burgers for about 5-7 minutes, until you start to see chicken patties become white/cooked and start to form grill marks. Flip burgers and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until cooked through. Chicken burgers are done when an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees and juices run clear.

  • Melt coconut oil and brush on pineapple rings. Place pineapple rings on grill and cook for 1-2 minutes, until starting to form grill marks, carefully flip and cook for an additional minutes.

Here are my November 5 star books: Mrs Nash’s A Here are my November 5 star books:
Mrs Nash’s Ashes by @sarahadlerwrites  I did not want this lovely book to end! The characters had such great chemistry and it was overall such a good romance.”A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Will They Or Won’t They by @avawilderwrites Such a cute story and I loved the ending, was not expecting it to end the way it did with the little twist. “Onscreen, they’re in love. Offscreen, they can’t stand each other. From the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood comes “a sexy lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance that smolders then bursts into flames”
Flying Solo @lindaholmes97  @justjuliawhelan narrates - she’s my fave narrator. This was such a fun audiobook, there were parts that had me loling and it was a unique love story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. “A woman returns to her small Maine hometown, uncovering family secrets that take her on a journey of self-discovery and new love, in this warm and charming novel from the NYT bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over.”
The Lost Bookshop @evie.gaughan This was such a lovely cozy read with a touch of whimsey, I really loved the story. “The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets. ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…”
