Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 4 rings pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
- 2 slices provolone cheese slices
- 4 pieces bacon strips
- 2 pieces brioche burger buns
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices tomato slices
Instructions
Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick).
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). During the last two minutes of cooking, lay a slice of provolone cheese on top of each chicken breast to melt.
While the chicken is cooking, grill the pineapple rings for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop grill marks and caramelization.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to make the spicy mayo. Set aside.
Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread the spicy mayo on both halves of the toasted buns. On the bottom half, layer a lettuce leaf, two slices of tomato, a grilled chicken breast with melted provolone, two pineapple rings, and two crispy bacon strips. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Maui Wowie sandwich!
