Spicy Grilled Pineapple Chicken Burger

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

• 1lb ground chicken (white meat, breast)
• 8 slices reduced fat Monterey Jack cheese
• 8 Sandwich Thins
• 8 pineapple rings (in their own juice if you are using canned)
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Vegenaise or reduced fat mayo
• 1/4 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp ground chipotle seasoning
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

1. Combine ground chicken, soy sauce, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, pepper, and smoked paprika by hand in a large bowl. Form into 8 patties, place on a plate, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine mayo, Greek yogurt and chipotle seasoning. Mix well, and set aside.
3. Heat up grill to medium heat. Place chicken patties directly on the grates and cook to desired level of doneness…about 4-5 minutes per side. Top each burger with a slice of cheese for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time to melt. Grill sandwich thins, if desired. Place cooked burgers on a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
4. Grill pineapples grates over medium heat. Carefully turn after 1-2 minutes.
5. Assemble burger with 1 chicken patty and cheese, 1 pineapple ring and equal portions of red onions and chipotle mayo.
