I had some leftover pineapple that needed a home and I remember seeing a teriyaki and pineapple combo that sounded good. A simple grilled teriyaki chicken sandwich with a slice of pineapple sounded like it would hit the spot. I had also been wanting to try grilling pineapple and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do it. This sandwich was pretty simple to make, though the chicken seemed to char quickly, no doubt because of the sugar in the teriyaki sauce. The grilled teriyaki chicken and pineapple sandwich tasted great. I really liked the combination of the sweet and salty teriyaki sauce with the sweet and tangy pineapple. I also enjoyed the fact that the pineapple was warm from the grill. A quick and simple meal for a warm summer day.

Grilling pineapple just makes it even more delicious and juicy. The teriyaki chicken would be a perfect compliment to the fruit. Great combination, Kevin!
Hi Kevin,
Looks like we both had pineapple on our minds! I think the grilled, caramalised pineapple goes perfectly with teriyaki – yumm!
MMM,mmm! I love chicken and pineapple in any combination! Nice, colorful looking sandwich!
I absolutely love grilled pineapple. I could eat a ton of it. It sounds great on a sandwich…
Hurray for pineapple on burgers! Just add a slice of beetroot and you’ll be a true blue Aussie! 🙂
looks great Kevin!!! I love your photos too!
Pineapple is the perfect accompaniment to teriyaki chicken – I’m sure this was delicious!
You make everything look amazing. I love grilled pineapple!
Oooh, grilled pineapple. I bet it tasted great with that teriyaki chicken. I’d have to grill a couple extra rings of pineapple just to snack on!
the pineapple and teriyaki looks like a happy partnership. I love the fact that you always add fruits in your meals 🙂
Thanks for the reminder – I forget how great pineapple is on chicken and burger as well. It adds such great flavor.
this looks so much better than my dinner of bourbon (sp?) chicken with potatoes from a food court 😉
Sounds like tomorrow night’s meal to me. We like it hot, so I might throw in some pepper jelly. Thanks for the inspiration.
Killer sandwich, Kevin!
Good god, that is fantastic. LOVE pineapples in savory dishes, as you must know already 🙂 I’m not usually a fan of mayo but I do agree that it does belong in this sandwich 🙂
Love the grill marks on it. Pineapples taste so good with a bit of heat applied.
i love pineapple in all varieties of dishes. this looks great kevin!
Wow, I can almost imagine how well the juiciness of the pineapple will pair so well with the chicken! Yum!
Gosh everything you make looks so good. This just makes my mouth water. Looks delish!
This looks grand. The teriyaki flavor with the sweetness of the pineapple must make a great combo!
It really sounds good and will be good! I love sandwiches.
This is lovely, I really love the pineapple ring. 🙂
teriyahki chicken is the best
Nice combo!!
LOL – don’t you just love left overs that need a home. This is a clever idea. I wonder though if you could have charred the pineapple and got it all nice and carmelized…then made it into a chutney or a spread to put on the bread – lol. How does that sound…hmmm!

Teriyaki chicken with grilled pineapple is one of my favorite combinations. Love that you put it into a sandwich!
I make these all the time, they are great!
I wonder why pineapple is not used more often in sandwiches, it has got the perfect shape to fit the buns! Your chicken looks great and I’m sure the flavour combo works very well!
This is absolutely gorgeous, your blog is an inspiration to me.
it’s funny because i was just thinking of having a teriyake-pineapple glaze combo for my meal tonight.. and then I saw your post! LOL.. grilled pineapple makes the fruit even better… drizzle a bit of nutella in it (warmed) and you’ll be have a simple dessert.
This looks like it would make a wonderful yummy lunch!
Wow… no doubt this tastes fantastic! I’ll have to try it with tofu. Yum!
Simplicity at it’s best
This is a simple and quick meal Kevin…but tasty too:D
i love grilled pineapple. I never would have thought to add it to a sandwich, but the teriyaki combination sounds wonderful!

Even as a not-gigantic fan of pineapple, I think this looks wonderful! Maybe grilled pineapple is the way forward…
