Does Anyone else love Red Robin’s Bonsai Burger or the Teriyaki Chicken Burger? I do. In fact, my husband makes his version at home for my birthday, and I was born on Christmas Eve. That means he gets himself out, in the snow typically, and grills for me: true love. He even makes the teriyaki sauce from scratch. I prefer the teriyaki chicken burger to ground beef, much to his chagrin.

Teriyaki Chicken Burger: Recipe Highlights

My husband usually uses marinated chicken breasts, but I decided to take a turn making these and used ground chicken to make the chicken burger; a compromise for a house in love with both chicken and burgers. I like to drizzle extra teriyaki sauce on the toasted bun and pineapple.

This is a pretty healthy burger compared to its ground beef counterpart. Let me know what you put on it.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices pineapple 1 can
  • 1 jar teriyaki basting sauce
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the grill to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl combine the ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, black pepper, and salt. Mix until the seasoning is fully incorporated into the chicken.
  • Divide the chicken into six equally sized mounds and pat into a round, burger shape.
  • Place the burgers onto a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 15 minutes to provide more ease in handling.
  • Brush the chicken with olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill (chicken is low in fat and doesn’t provide the same “grease” as ground beef.)
  • Place each patty on the grill and cook each side for at least 2 minutes before brushing with the teriyaki basting sauce.
  • Continue cooking the chicken burgers turning every 5 minutes and reapplying the teriyaki sauce until fully cooked.
  • Move burgers to indirect heat and place the cheese on top. Remove chicken when cheese is melted.
  • Place chicken burgers on a bun and top with shredded lettuce, tomato, and pineapple.
