Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Sandwiches Recipe
Description
This recipe features large filleted chicken breasts rubbed generously with a sweet honey-flavored BBQ dry rub before grilling or skillet cooking until fully cooked. A glaze made by combining remaining dry rub with pineapple juice thickens into a sticky sauce, which is brushed over the cooked chicken to intensify flavor. The grilled pineapple rounds add a caramelized sweetness and moisture, balanced by sharp red onion slices and fresh lettuce.
The sandwiches are assembled with layers of lettuce on buns, followed by chicken, pineapple, onion, and more lettuce to build a fresh-textured sandwich that contrasts with the tender and flavorful chicken. They are served hot, making an inviting and filling option for casual meals.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast filleted
- 1 packet BBQ sauce KC Masterpiece brand, sweet honey flavor
- 1 packet dry rub KC Masterpiece brand, sweet honey flavor
- 2/3 cup pineapple juice
- 4 lices pineapple grilled
- 4 lices red onion
- 4 large pieces lettuce
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- Rub 2 tablespoons of the dry rub onto both sides of the filleted chicken breasts. Grill or cook in a greased skillet until cooked throughout (or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees).
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining dry rub and the pineapple juice, mix until a thick sauce forms. Brush generously over the cooked chicken.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place half of the lettuce on the bottom half of the bun, then add the chicken, followed by the pineapple, red onion, remaining lettuce and the top of the bun. Enjoy hot.
