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!

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!

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 😉

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 🙂

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!
