Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 pieces Pineapple slices (fresh or canned)
• 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 cup Cabbage (shredded)
• 0.5 cups Carrot (shredded)
• 0.25 cups Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, ground allspice, garlic powder, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then coat them evenly with the spice mixture. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked and juices run clear (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove and let rest.

Step 5

Grill the pineapple slices for 1-2 minutes per side or until slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and lime juice to make a tangy dressing.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and sliced red onion. Toss with the mayonnaise-lime dressing to create the tropical slaw.

Step 8

Optionally, spread a small amount of butter on the burger buns and toast them on the grill or stovetop until golden.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwich by placing a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of a bun. Top with a slice of grilled pineapple, a generous heap of tropical slaw, and the top half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Caribbean-style chicken sandwich!
