Description
Juicy grilled chicken sandwiches with a delicious pineapple twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 pineapple rings
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, olive oil, and black pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken and Pineapple: Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each chicken breast. Grill the pineapple rings for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and lightly charred.
- Toast the Buns: Spread butter lightly on the buns and toast them on the grill until golden brown. Mix mayonnaise and barbecue sauce together in a small bowl.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the sauce onto each toasted bun. Layer lettuce, grilled chicken, pineapple rings, and tomato slices onto the buns. Serve immediately while warm and juicy.
Notes
