Ingredients
Teriyaki Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 ¼ cups water
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Chicken Sandwich
- 4 thin-cut chicken breasts
- 4 onion buns
- 8 tablespoons mayo
- lettuce
- 8 lices cooked bacon
- 4 lices fresh pineapple
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, 1 cup of water, ginger, garlic powder, brown sugar, and honey. Place over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup water and the cornstarch.
- Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and heat until thickened, whisking occasionally.
- Place the chicken breasts into a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill pan or your grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken breasts until cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees F), about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and allow to rest on a plate covered loosely with foil for 10 minutes.
- While the chicken rests, grill the pineapple slices on both sides until golden and heated through.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of mayo on the cut side of each top and bottom bun. Top the bottom bun with lettuce, a chicken breast, 2 slices of bacon, and a grilled pineapple slice. Place the top bun onto the sandwich and serve immediately.

Notes
- If you can't find onion buns, you can use regular burger buns. The sweet onion flavor really adds something to this sandwich though.
