Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 95 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Hawaiian style marinade
• 6 4 Ounces (oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, tenderized
• Cooking spray
• 6 Whole pineapple rings
• 6 Whole onion rolls, sliced
• 6 Slices provolone cheese
• 6 Leaves romaine lettuce
• 6 Slices tomato
• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) Thousand Island salad dressing

Steps

1. Pour the Hawaiian style marinade into a large resealable bag. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard any remaining marinade.
4. Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
5. As you turn the chicken, place the pineapple slices on the grill. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until they are caramelized and have grill marks. Toast the onion rolls on the grill if desired.
6. Place a grilled pineapple slice on each chicken breast, then top with a slice of provolone cheese. Close the grill lid and cook for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted.
7. Assemble the sandwiches by placing the chicken, pineapple, and cheese on the bottom half of each onion roll. Top with a leaf of romaine lettuce and a slice of tomato. Spread a tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on the top half of each roll and place it on the sandwich.
