Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 1 cup Diced fresh pineapple
- 1 cup Diced fresh mango

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, 0.5 tsp salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the chicken patties and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and set aside.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the fresh fruit salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, diced mango, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and 0.25 tsp salt. Mix well and set aside.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a chicken patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a generous spoonful of fresh fruit salsa and add the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
