Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 6 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 ounce can pineapple rings (or fresh!), patted dry
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 buns or kaiser rolls
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Pound out the chicken breasts to an even 1-inch thickness if they are bigger than that; slice each in half, so you have 4 pieces total. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Combine the juice from the pineapple can, soy sauce, brown sugar, and mustard. Marinate the chicken overnight in the the juice mixture.
- Prepare your grill for medium-high heat and oil the grates well.
- Grill the chicken for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through (or until an internal temperature reaches 165F.) With 3 minutes remaining, add the cheese on top of each chicken piece.
- While the chicken is grilling, add the pineapple rings halfway through, turning once.
- Smear some mayo on the buns, then top with a piece of chicken and a pineapple ring.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
