Recipe type: Sandwiches
Serves: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
  • For the Burger:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 oz. each)*
  • ⅓ plus ¼ cup Kikkoman gluten free teriyaki sauce, divided
  • 4 slices of pineapple, cored, about ¼" thick
  • 4 slices Fontina or provolone cheese (or desired cheese)
  • 4 gluten free hamburger buns
  • lettuce, enough for 4 sandwiches
  • salt
  • pepper
  • For the Sauce:
  • ⅓ cup Kikkoman gluten free teriyaki sauce
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Directions
  1. Pound and cut chicken breasts to appropriate size, not too thick, for sandwiches.* Place in plastic bag and pour ⅓ cup teriyaki sauce in bag. Cut pineapple slices and place in a separate plastic bag. Pour ¼ cup teriyaki sauce in bag. Seal both bags and marinate in fridge for 1-2 hours.
  2. During last 20 minutes of marinating, remove from fridge and set on counter. Meanwhile, prepare sauce by adding all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring to medium heat and stir occasionally until sauce comes to a boil. Reduce to a low boil and stir constantly for 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  3. Heat grill, grill pan, or a George Foreman type appliance to grilling heat (medium-high). Spray grilling pan with cooking spray. Salt and pepper each side of the chicken breasts. Cook chicken on grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until middle is no longer pink. Add cheese immediately after cooking so it can melt on top. Grill pineapple slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until tender.
  4. Arrange burgers by placing chicken with cheese on bottom bun, then pineapple, a drizzle of sauce, lettuce, and top bun. Serve immediately.
Notes
*Chicken breasts should be about ½" thick and the size of a deck of cards. Pound and cut your chicken breasts to appropriate sized pieces for optimal results.
