- 2 garlic cloves
- 13 cup green onion, roughly chopped
- 12 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 12 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 12 cup canned pineapple chunk, reserve the juice for later
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks
- 12 cup dried breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 4 pita bread, toasted
- 12 cup pineapple juice, previously reserved from canned pineapple
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 13 cup ketchup
- 14 cup rice wine vinegar
- 13 cup canned pineapple chunk, chopped up
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar or 2 tablespoons Splenda granular
Method
- Put the garlic, green onions, cilantro leaves, ginger, pineapple chunks and soy sauce into a food processor and blitz for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until everything is chopped up very finely.
- You want the mixture to almost be a paste.
- Scrape the mixture into a large bowl and set aside.
- Put the raw chicken into the food processor, in batches if necessary, and whiz for a minute or so until it is very finely chopped up and looking close to ground chicken.
- Put into the bowl with the first mixture and add in the breadcrumbs and egg.
- Use your hands to combine all the ingredients, making sure everything gets well mixed in with each other.
- Form into four burger patties and put into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or longer.
- Once the burgers are ready either cook them in a skillet with a bit of oil for 5 minutes on each side or cook on a Foreman type grill for about 10 minutes.
- Either way make sure the chicken is fully cooked before finishing.
- While the burgers are cooking put the pineapple juice into a small bowl and mix with the cornstarch.
- Put to one side.
- Put the ketchup, rice wine vinegar, pineapple chunks, soy sauce and sugar or Splenda into a saucepan.
- Turn the burner on to a medium high heat and stir just to combine the ingredients.
- Pour in the pineapple juice mixture and stir until the mixture thickens up.
- This only takes a matter of minutes so keep a close eye on it because it can very easily burn.
- Toast the pita breads and split them open lengthwise.
- Stuff them with whatever you like in your burger.
- We went with just some crisp lettuce.
- Then put one burger into each pita and spoon on the amount of sweet and sour sauce to fit your taste.
- Keep a napkin handy because they can get messy!
