Instructions

  • Heat grill or stove top to medium high heat.  Line a plate or pan with parchment paper
  • Mix all ingredients for the burger patties in a large bowl until well mixed, but not over mixed
  • Wet hands or put oil on them to keep the chicken from sticking to your hands. 
  • Form 4 even sized balls of chicken. Take one ball at a time and form into a flattened patty with hands.  Slightly flatten the middle of the patty.
  • Place patties on parchment paper
  • Slice pineapple in thin slices
  • Take both the patties and pineapple to grill and grill for 5 minutes on the first side, flip and then cook 4 minutes on the other side.  If using stove top, use a well oiled pan and cook for the same time on medium high heat.
  • While the patties and pineapple cook, put all peanut sauce ingredients in a food processor or high powered blender.  Blend until smooth - 3-4 minutes.  Adjust salt and pepper as desired
  • Mix the peanut sauce with olive oil to thin it out.
  • Add peanut sauce to coleslaw and mix to coat well
  • Assemble burgers and enjoy!  We prefer not to toast our buns for this burger, but you can toast them for extra crunch!
