- 2 tbsp pineapple juice
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
For the burgers
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin (omit for AIP)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
- 4–5 slices on pineapple
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 8–10 butter lettuce leaves (optional)
- 1 tbsp cilantro, chopepd
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients (reserving the arrowroot) in a small saucepan and set on the stove on medium heat. Whisk in the arrowroot simmer on low for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens. Set the sauce aside.
- Prepare a grill pan or grill by lightly brushing with avocado oil and setting to medium-high heat.
- Using a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, coconut aminos, coconut flour, avocado oil, cumin, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Form the mixture into 4-5 burgers and place onto the grill or grill pan, either in batches, or spread apart to not crowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side and carefully flip. Cook until internal temperature reads 165 F. Set aside.
- Clean off any burnt bits from the pan and add more oil if needed. Add the pineapple slices and grill for 1-2 minutes on each side to add grill marks and to lightly cook.
- Set aside and repeat grilling with the red onion for 2-3 minutes on each side. Set aside.
- To assemble the burgers, layer each patty on top of a lettuce leaf and top with pineapple, red onion, teriyaki sauce, and cilantro.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
