Tropical Hamburgers Or Chicken Breast Recipes

ALOHA CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts into a plastic zipper bag with soy sauce, seal the bag, and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes. While chicken is marinating, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside. Spread cut sides of hamburger buns with butter.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the chicken from the soy sauce, and discard the excess soy sauce. Place the chicken breasts onto the preheated grill, and grill until chicken shows good grill marks, is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. When chicken is almost done, brush each piece generously on both sides with teriyaki sauce to finish grilling. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt onto the chicken.
• While chicken is grilling, spread the buns open on the grill and cook until toasted and showing grill lines, about 2 minutes. Set the buns aside.
• To assemble, spread the grilled sides of each bun with mayonnaise, and top each bottom bun with a cooked chicken breast, 1 1/2 slices of bacon, a slice of pineapple, a slice from a head of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.

TROPICAL BURGER WITH TROPICAL FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Directions: Start the BBQ sauce and Salsa. Mix together egg, ground beef, and soy sauce. Start your Grill. Cut the burgers into 4 quarters. Pat the burgers to make a smooth surface. Sprinkle with pepper and Cook until bottom is nicely browned. Flip the burger and cook until it is brown. Place a pineapple slice each on the bottom half of four buns. Coat the burgers with the BBQ sauce, place them on the buns, and place some fruit salsa on top of them. Try serving with diced pineapple, mango, and/or papaya.
• Directions For BBQ Sauce: Place sweet onions in butter in a small saucepan and sauté until soft and translucent. Add brown sugar, dry mustard, cider vinegar, pineapple, ketchup, lime juice, pomegranate juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until combined and cook over medium heat until reduced and thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Directions For Fruit Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes.

TROPICAL BURGER

Steps:

• Mix first 6 ingredients well in a bowl with your hands, to make sure that it's really all mixed well, and then form into 4 burger patties.
• Mush a bunch (10-15) of the peanuts into each patty and then put them on the grill, peanut side down.
• When they are almost halfway done (depending on your heat, this could be anywhere from 2-4 minutes), flip'em and add a couple slices of ham, some cheddar and a slice of pineapple to each and let'em finish cooking.
• Take'em off the grill and add them, with lettuce and tomato, onto your buns with any mustard/ketchup/condiment you like and enjoy!
• Goofy sounding, but darn tasty!
• Try'em!
• If you really have some time on your hands, you could make a peanut sauce instead of using honey roasted peanuts, but I'm just lazy and the peanuts worked out very well.
