HI! It has been a longggggggggggg time, sorry! I don't even remember the last time I blogged but I have kept up with the blogs I follow.... anyway on to these yummy burgers.
I pinned these burgers from Pinterest a while ago and just tried them over the weekend and they are SO good. I always go to Pinterest when it is time make my grocery list for new dinner ideas for us to try. So thanks to homeiswheretheholmansare.blogspot.com I now have a new recipe for chicken burgers!
Here is the Recipe copied from homeiswheretheholmansare.blogspot.com and the pic is from their site too.
Spicy Hawaiian Burgers
2 pounds ground chicken6 pineapple rings (or equivalent slices, cut about 1/2" - 3/4" thick)6 slices pepper jack cheese6 whole wheat hamburger buns1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce1 tsp smoked paprika1 tsp chili powder1/2 tsp seasoning salt (I use Lawry's)1/2 tsp ground cumin1 clove garlic, minced
Combine the ground chicken, soy sauce, 1/2 the paprika, 1/2 the chili powder, seasoning salt, cumin, and garlic. Lightly mix with your hands and divide into 6 even balls. Form patties, making them slightly thinner in the middle and sprinkle with remaining paprika and chili powder. Refrigerate about 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Coat grates lightly with oil. Grill burgers over medium heat about 6 minutes per side. The burgers should flip easily when they are ready to turn, if they want to stick, give them another minute. Top with cheese for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time to melt. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to rest. Grill buns if desired.
For the pineapple, if you are using rings, grill directly on the grates over medium heat. Carefully turn after 1-2 minutes. If you are using pineapple slices or chunks, thread onto skewers and grill skewers in the same fashion. Assemble burgers and enjoy.
I grilled this Saturday afternoon after a busy morning of cleaning and yard work. I do not grill very often so I was pretty proud of myself when they turned out great. Some tips for this recipe from me would be to spray your hands with Pam while pattying them - sounds gross but it keeps the ground chicken from sticking to your hands and makes it easier to get the job done. Also spray Pam on the grill before putting the burgers on there. I used pineapple rings and they were pretty easy to grill.
Aaron said they were very yummy and wants them again soon for dinner so that is a plus. I ate my plain just as the recipe calls for but he put BBQ sauce on his - we are sauce people but I wanted to try it without sauce for a change and loved it!
If you decide to make these let me know what you think! Chicken and pineapple are a fav combo of ours...ecspecially on pizza :)
Happy Tuesday!!
