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.

August 6, 2008 at 11:37 pmHi Kevin,
Looks like we both had pineapple on our minds! I think the grilled, caramalised pineapple goes perfectly with teriyaki – yumm!

August 7, 2008 at 1:39 amOooh, 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!

Darius T. Williams says
August 7, 2008 at 12:15 pmLOL – 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!
