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
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, mix together the teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Step 2
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).
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Toast the buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and warm.
Step 7
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 8
Place one grilled chicken breast on each bun, followed by 2 pineapple rings, 1 lettuce leaf, and 1 red onion ring.
Step 9
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
