Description
Delicious grilled chicken sandwiches marinated in teriyaki sauce and topped with ham, pineapple, and Pepper Jack cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 bottle Lawry’s teriyaki sauce
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 slices deli ham
- 1 can sliced pineapple (or you can use fresh which would be even better)
- 4 slices Pepper Jack cheese
- 4 hamburger buns (large)
Instructions
- Pound chicken breasts until they are about 1/4" thick all around.
- Place in a large Ziploc bag. Combine Teriyaki sauce and brown sugar until sugar dissolves. Add 1/2 of the mixture to the bag with the chicken and seal tightly.
- Place bag in refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours.
- Separate remaining Teriyaki mixture into 2 separate bowls (to prevent cross contamination use 2 separate brushes too)– one for the pineapple, one for the chicken.
- Open pineapple can and save a little of the juice in a bowl.
- Place chicken and pineapple on the grill (medium heat) with Teriyaki sauce every few minutes until chicken and pineapple are done. Try to only flip the chicken and pineapple once.
- Either on the grill or in a frying pan, cook ham with a little of the pineapple juice until it becomes nice and hot.
- Slice open hamburger buns and place a piece of cooked chicken on each bottom bun. Top with cheese, ham, grilled pineapple, and bun top.
- Serve immediately with remaining grilled pineapple.
Notes
- For a fresher taste, consider using fresh pineapple instead of canned.
- Allowing the chicken to marinate longer enhances the flavor.
