Receta Caribbean Chicken Burgers and a Red Gold Giveaway! #RGParty
by Cathy Wiechert

One reason this is my favorite time of year is the fact that I can grill my food nearly every weekend. I love it all on the grill---brats, hot dogs, chicken, steak---but, I think my all time favorite grill food is the burger. Usually, I just slap some burger into a patty and throw it on the grill, hoping that I don't leave it on so long that it dries out. This is especially hard to do with my husband's burgers. He wants well done, even if it means the consistency of shoe leather. ewww.

Recently, my friends at Red Gold Tomatoes sent me a little something to remedy that dried out burger. It was a six-pack of various cans of diced tomatoes and an awesome bottle of Mama Selita's Jalapeno Ketchup!

There was a time when I thought canned tomatoes should only be opened in the dead of winter but, while I do love a beautiful, ripe fresh tomato, I have come to find some great uses for the canned variety. Along with the six pack of tomato product, there were some fabulous recipes that I just had to try.

The recipes all sound great. There is a Red Gold burger, topped with a delicious sounding tomato mixture-- green onions, garlic, jalapenos, ginger, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar....oh my...this is next on my list. There is a Spicy Burger consisting of ground beef mixed with Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies, and an Italian Burger that has ground beef mixed with Red Gold Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic, & Oregano. Both of those sounded really good, but I decided a something a little different. Take a look at this:

Combine ground chicken, Red Gold Diced Tomatoes with Lime Juice & Cilantro, egg, and bread crumbs in a bowl. Form into patties and season with salt and black pepper. Place on grill and cook to desired temperature, 160 degrees F. for completely cooked burgers.

Serving Suggestions: Serve on toasted bun, with sliced avocado or a grilled pineapple slice.

Be sure to drain the tomatoes really well or the burger will fall apart...

I went easy and used canned pineapple...they turned out yummy!

Some panko bread crumbs and an egg help bind everything together.

You may want to oil the grill first...they do stick a little.

Oh my gosh...these were good! The tomatoes really keep the meat from drying out.

Here is the deal behind all of this goodness: Red Gold Tomatoes is hosting a Summer Grillin' Party on Facebook!
