Instructions
Creating Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Sandwiches is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to prepare this delightful dish:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with teriyaki sauce. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Grill the Pineapple: While the chicken is cooking, place pineapple slices on the grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear.
5. Prepare the Buns: Optionally, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or two until warmed and slightly crispy.
6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each bun, if desired. Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun.
7. Add Toppings: Layer shredded lettuce, grilled pineapple, sliced red onion, and avocado on top of the chicken.
8. Finish Assembly: Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top for an extra touch.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Sandwiches while hot!
