Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 pineapple slices
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce or glaze
2 brioche buns
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 lettuce leaves
4 red onion rings
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
2. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Grill pineapple slices for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
5. Toast brioche buns cut-side down for about 1 minute.
6. Spread mayonnaise on bottom bun.
7. Layer grilled chicken, pineapple, jalapeños, red onion, and lettuce.
8. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
Notes
Let chicken rest after grilling to retain juices.
Use fresh pineapple for best flavor.
Toast buns to prevent sogginess.
Store components separately if making ahead.
Try substituting teriyaki with BBQ or spicy mayo for variation.
