Grilled Chicken Breast and Pineapple image

I have been on the lookout for a recipe that I could make myself. Infusing pineapple with teriyaki was delicious! It is the perfect amount of sweet and salty and the longer you let your chicken marinate, the more delicious it becomes! This grilled recipe is now a staple at our house - everyone loves it. Serve with peas, rice, or salad.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for grilling. You can also use pre-cooked chicken if you're short on time.
Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Try using a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs like thyme or rosemary.
Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and drying out. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
Toast the buns: Toasting the buns will help to make them crispy and flavorful. You can toast them in a toaster oven or on a grill.
Assemble the sliders: Place a chicken breast or thigh on each bun, top with a slice of pineapple, and then drizzle with teriyaki sauce. You can also add other toppings like cheese, bacon, or avocado.

These grilled chicken pineapple sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a summer cookout, a tailgating party, or a simple weeknight dinner. With their sweet and savory flavor, these sliders are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
