These teriyaki pineapple chicken burgers are juicy, sweet, and packed with flavor.
Chicken burgers, or chicken sandwiches depending on where you are from, are a delicious alternative to your expected beef burger.
Chicken is a leaner meat than beef so its a slightly healthier option if you’re craving a burger.
In our recipe, we have infused the burger patties with soy, garlic, and ginger to make the burst with flavors even before adding the toppings!
These succulent patties are topped with melting Swiss cheese, smoky grilled pineapple, and a unique teriyaki mayonnaise to create a flavor explosion in your mouth.

I just made these again – just as good as the first time. Next I’m going to do them on a tortilla shell and add cut up pineapple and red onion with the Swiss cheese and teriyaki mayo
