Yippee!  Summer break has officially begun! Time for vacations, picnics, pool parties, relaxing, and of course grilling. To celebrate summer break I made  these Grilled Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki Burgers that scream summer!

If you have never grilled pineapple here is your perfect chance. The pineapple slices caramelize and become super sweet. It is a match made in heaven when combined with the teriyaki sauce.

If you are making these for a party simply prep everything ahead of time and refrigerate until you are ready to grill. I served mine on a bed of lettuce, but you could also serve them on buns if you choose.
