Spicy Hawaiian Burgers

2 pounds ground chicken
6 pineapple rings
6 slices pepperjack cheese
6 whole wheat hamburger buns
1/4 C. soy sauce
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. Lawry's
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced

Combine the ground chicken, soy sauce, 1/2 the paprika, 1/2 the chili powder, seasoning salt and cumin. Lightly mix and divide into 6 even balls. Form patties, making them slightly thinner in the middle and sprinkle with remaining paprika and chili powder. Refrigerate about 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Coat grates lightly with oil. Grill burgers over medium heat about 6 minutes per side. Top with cheese for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time to melt. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to rest. Grill buns if desired.

For the pineapple, if you are using rings, grill directly on the grates over medium heat. Carefully turn after 1-2 minutes. If you are using pineapple slices or chunks, thread onto skewers and grill skewers in the same fashion.

Serve with teriyaki sauce or Ranch dressing.
