  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts in a plastic zipper bag with soy sauce, seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the chicken marinates, cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

  4. 4

    Spread the cut sides of the hamburger buns with butter.

  5. 5

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  6. 6

    Remove the chicken from the soy sauce and discard any excess soy sauce.

  7. 7

    Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook until they have good grill marks, are no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

  8. 8

    When the chicken is almost done, brush each piece generously on both sides with teriyaki sauce to finish grilling.

  9. 9

    Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt onto the chicken.

  10. 10

    While the chicken grills, open the buns on the grill and toast until they are browned with grill lines, about 2 minutes.

  11. 11

    Set the buns aside.

  12. 12

    To assemble, spread mayonnaise on the grilled sides of each bun, then place on each bottom bun a cooked chicken breast, 1 1/2 slices of bacon, a slice of pineapple, a slice from a head of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
