Tropical Chicken Burgers

These Tropical Chicken Burgers are full of chopped mango and jalapeño for a big flavor easy to make and healthy burger!

Tropical-Chicken Burgers on a grill pan

Tropical Chicken Burgers where have you been all my life!  Chopped mango, jalapeño, red peppers and onions all mixed together with ground chicken – it’s a perfect burger that comes together quickly and can easily be cooked on your indoor grill pan or outdoor BBQ.

Just like my Salmon Burgers, Chicken Avocado Burgers and Greek Chicken Burgers, these are super easy and super healthy!  Just toss your ingredients together in a bowl,  gently shape into patties and throw ’em down!  No precooking of the veggies or anything like that.  They all meld together while on the grill for a big flavor!  

A few of my other fave burgers to try!

Greek Chicken Burgers

 

I truly enjoy the flavor of ground chicken opposed to ground turkey but you can certainly use ground turkey in a pinch!     I’d stay away from ground breast meat.  They will be dry.  Tasty, but dry.

Once you try these, you will be grilling them up all summer long and look at this recipe?    Can it get easier than this?

Notes:

  • If cooking on a hot BBQ outdoors, be careful not to over cook. These cook up quickly.
  • I love this Indoor Grill Pan!
  • I used a mix of dark and white ground chicken but ground chicken breast can be used – just be prepared to have it turn out a bit on the dry side

Any of these burgers would be great served with Crunchy Mediterranean Couscous Salad!

 

Happy Grilling!

Clink!

    Holy cow, that made my morning! I have quite a few paleo recipes on my blog and I hope you get a chance to try a few more. A good place to find them is on my Pinterest Board ‘Paleo and Whole30’. Thank you again for the sweet comment!

    These sound amazing! I plan on making them this week. One question I had though, I’m from Wisconsin and tend to put cheese on everything haha, do you have any suggestions on one to pair with this burger? I’m sure the flavors are good enough without it, but just thought I would ask. 🙂

    Thanks!

      Cheese makes everything better!! Personally I think something milder like swiss would work but I just don’t see how you could go wrong with adding any kind of cheese!

    Hey Kathi, these burgers look really good. Hopefully we will be getting some warm weather up here in Canada so I can try out this recipe!

    I see you live in Seattle. I have some friends there and really love the city!

    Keep up the great work.

      Hello Matt – I love Canada! We go to BC a lot and Whistler most every spring to enjoy the golf and the BC ferries are divine!
      Thanks for visiting – let me know when you try the burgers!

      I used a sweet BBQ sauce with Pineapple. My daughter made the sauce and I haven’t had time to blog it yet but I’m sure you could find something at the store that runs on the sweet side? Hope you love them as much as we do!

    The flavors in this sound amazing Kathi! And love that you did chicken burgers. So light and will really let the mango and jalapeno stand out. Can’t wait to try!

    Love the idea of adding veggies to the patties, and i’m sure the mango adds a touch of sweetness

      Hello Azu – they are some of the best burgers we have had! I’m having a garden party this summer and going to make sliders out of them! Thanks for stopping by!

    You know, I gave up burgers a while ago, except for veggie and a 1-2x/year bison burger at Ted’s, but these look so good and healthy! I especially love the mango – will definitely try them 🙂
