Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- Low-sodium soy sauce (optional for additional marinade)
Burger Assembly
- 4 hamburger buns
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Cucumber slices
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a bowl or resealable bag. Pour 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
- Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, approximately 375°F (190°C), to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and develops a nice char.
- Grill Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
- Toast Buns: While the chicken finishes cooking, place the hamburger bun halves on the grill cut-side down. Toast them for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Assemble Burgers: On each toasted bun, place a grilled chicken breast. Top with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and cucumber slices to add crunch and freshness.
- Serve: Serve the Teriyaki Chicken Burgers immediately to enjoy the combination of warm, flavorful chicken and crisp, fresh toppings.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken overnight will enhance the flavor even more.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan or cook the chicken under a broiler.
- Feel free to add mayonnaise or your favorite sauce for extra moisture.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken to avoid undercooking.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce the overall salt content.
