Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 slices pineapple rings
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces brioche sandwich buns
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.5 pieces red onion
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Discard any remaining marinade.
While the chicken is cooking, grill the pineapple rings for 2-3 minutes per side until they are slightly caramelized.
Toast the brioche buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Add a lettuce leaf, a grilled chicken breast, a slice of cheddar cheese, a grilled pineapple ring, and a few rings of thinly sliced red onion.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
