kcalThese festive chicken sandwiches are a breeze to make on a hot summer day with very little cleanup!
Ingredients
1 can / 20 oz sliced pineapple in juice
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4-5 oz. each)
1 cup mayonnaise (I use Best Foods)
4 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried dill weed
8 romaine lettuce leaves
8 slices Munster cheese
8 sweet Hawaiian hamburger buns (I use Ball Park)
Directions
- Pound out each chicken breast to a 1/4-1/2 inch thickness with the smooth side of the meat mallet.
- Set aside in a resealable freezer bag.
- Drain pineapple, reserving 1 cup of juice.
- Put the pineapple slices in a container and refrigerate until grilling.
- In a bowl, combine the reserved pineapple juice, brown sugar, ground mustard, garlic salt, and pepper, whisk well and add to the bag containing the chicken breasts.
- Seal bag and turn to coat, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and dill, refrigerate until serving.
- Drain and discard marinade, grill the chicken, covered, over medium heat for 6 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
- Add one slice of cheese to each breast and grill until melted, remove to a serving plate.
- Grill pineapple slices for one minute on each side.
- Grill the Hawaiian buns until lightly toasted.
- Spread mayonnaise mixture on buns, then lay a romaine lettuce leaf on each bottom bun, top with chicken breast, and a pineapple slice, enjoy!
Notes
- There will be a few extra pineapples, so on some sandwiches, you can put 1-1/2 slices.
- I like to serve these with “Hawaiian Kettle Style Luau BBQ Potato Chips“.
