Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich – Sweet, Savory, and Totally Delicious!

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp ground ginger (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 sandwich rolls or buns

1 cup lettuce (shredded)

1/2 cup sliced cucumber

1/2 cup sliced red onion

4 slices pineapple rings (grilled or fresh)

Mayonnaise or sriracha mayo (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:

In a bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, and ginger (if using).

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).

Grill the Chicken:

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C), basting with more teriyaki sauce during grilling for extra flavor.

Prepare the Sandwich Rolls:

Toast the sandwich rolls lightly on the grill or in a toaster for a crispy texture.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Spread a layer of mayonnaise or sriracha mayo on the bottom half of each roll (optional for a creamy or spicy kick).

Place the grilled teriyaki chicken breast on the roll.

Top with shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, red onion, and a grilled or fresh pineapple ring.

Serve and Enjoy:

Close the sandwich with the top bun and serve immediately! This sandwich is perfect with a side of fries or a fresh salad.

Pro Tip: Add a drizzle of extra teriyaki sauce on top for even more sweetness and flavor!
