Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

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.

Step 5

Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired.
