Ingredients
For Assembly
- 4 hamburger buns buttered and toasted
- 8 lices cooked bacon
- 4 leaves lettuce
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice (from the can), soy sauce, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and red chili flakes. Simmer the mixture over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until it thickens and deepens in color. Remove from heat and divide the sauce into two portions – one for basting and one for serving.
- To ensure even thickness of the chicken breast fillets, gently pound the thicker end to approximately ½-inch thickness, allowing for even cooking. This step guarantees tender and perfectly cooked chicken. Brush the tops with the sauce and set aside.
- Heat a grill pan or a regular pan over medium-high heat. You'll need to grease the pan slightly to prevent sticking. As the pan heats up, preheat your oven to 200°F to keep the cooked pineapple and chicken warm.
- Place the pineapple slices (from the can) in the hot pan, letting them get a nice char. Remove and place them on a plate in the preheated oven.
- Cook the chicken breasts in the same pan for 5-6 minutes on each side until they're cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F, occasionally basting with the reserved sauce for a burst of flavor. As the chicken nears perfection, brush a final layer of sauce onto each breast, transfer to a plate, and keep them warm in the oven until they're ready for assembly.
- While the chicken is resting, clean the pan by wiping it with a paper towel. Place the burger buns with their cut sides down on the heated pan. Allow them to toast until they are lightly toasted. Then spread the barbecue sauce on the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
- Layer with lettuce, chicken, pineapple, bacon, more sauce, and enjoy!
