I concocted this burger while craving a juicy burger with great flavor. Next time, I would like to mince the jalapenos and add them into the ground chicken patties...when the kids are not joining us for dinner.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
⅓ cup diced red onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 pound ground chicken
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 pineapple rings
4 slices provolone cheese
4 hamburger buns, split
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise, or to taste
8 canned jalapeno pepper slices, or to taste

Steps:

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add red onion, garlic, and ginger; saute until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Combine chicken, panko, teriyaki sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add cooled onion and mix gently with your hands until fully incorporated. Create 4 burger patties.
Grill burgers on the preheated grill until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side, adding provolone slices towards the end of the cooking time so they can melt. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the burgers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Grill pineapple slices alongside the burgers until warm, about 1 minute per side.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare hamburger buns with a light smear of mayonnaise. Place cooked burgers on buns and top with pineapple slices and jalapeno peppers.
