Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Teriyaki sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 1 small Red onion, sliced
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half the prepared teriyaki marinade over the chicken and reserve the rest for later. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for better flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Discard the used marinade.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until thickened slightly.

Step 6

Butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until lightly golden brown.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a slice of grilled chicken, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion on top. Drizzle with the thickened teriyaki sauce, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful Teriyaki Chicken Sandwiches!
