Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 8 rings pineapple rings
- 4 pieces Hawaiian sweet hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 4 rings sliced red onion
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, mix together the teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for best flavor).
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill them for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is grilling, place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly caramelized.
Toast the buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and warm.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Place one grilled chicken breast on each bun, followed by 2 pineapple rings, 1 lettuce leaf, and 1 red onion ring.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
