#733: Chicken Teriyaki Burger with Grilled Pineapple


My photo of this recipe (to the left) is NOTHING like the original photo (at right).  Let's be honest, which one would you rather try?  Yeah, I'd choose the original photo on the right too. 

I am not a big fan of chicken sandwiches, but if my sandwich looked like that, I would probably order it in a restaurant.  Regardless of my photo, this sandwich is actually pretty darn good. 

3-4 chicken breasts, trimmed of any fat
1-2 cups of your favorite teriyaki sauce

Place chicken breasts, 1 at a time, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound to an even thickness. Marinate in the teriyaki sauce for 6-24 hours in a Ziploc bag.

1 can of pineapple rings (or fresh pineapple if you prefer)
Low fat Swiss cheese slices
Low fat mayonnaise
Hamburger buns (whatever flavor you like)
Additional topping ideas:
Lettuce
Tomato slices
Sweet yellow onion slices
Extra teriyaki sauce

Spray cooking spray in a grill pan over medium heat. Add pineapple rings & cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from grill pan & set aside. Add more cooking spray to the pan; add chicken and cook over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Turn over and add the pineapple rings and low fat Swiss cheese. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Heat the bun in the broiler for 1-2 minutes. Add low fat mayonnaise to the bun, chicken/pineapple/cheese, and all the fixings you want
