Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 95 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Hawaiian style marinade
• 6 4 Ounces (oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, tenderized
• 1 Spray coating cooking spray
• 6 Pineapple rings
• 6 Onion rolls, divided
• 6 Slices provolone cheese
• 6 Leaves romaine lettuce
• 6 Slices tomato
• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) Thousand Island salad dressing

Steps

1. Marinate the Chicken: Pour the Hawaiian style marinade into a large resealable bag. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Squeeze out excess air, seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. Grill the Pineapple and Toast the Rolls: When turning the chicken, place the pineapple slices on the grill. Cook for about 2 minutes per side. Optionally, toast the onion rolls on the grill for added texture.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches: 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.
6. Build the Sandwiches: Transfer the chicken, pineapple, and cheese to the bottom halves of the onion rolls. Top with romaine lettuce and tomato slices. Spread Thousand Island dressing on the top halves of the rolls and place them on the sandwiches.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sandwiches immediately, enjoying the blend of sweet, savory, and creamy flavors. Perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion.
