Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich

Haven't posted any recipes for a while, need to catch up! This one is a terrific summer barbecue recipe, and super-quick. Leftovers are also good. I've made this two or three times this Summer and my family loves it.
  • 4x 4oz boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (look for the ones that say, "thin sliced for Milanesa" in the supermarket, or pound regular chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to flatten)
  • 4x .5" thick slices fresh pineapple
  • 1/4c spicy teriyaki marinade (or regular teriyaki marinade with a pinch of red pepper flakes)
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/4 c light mayonnaise
  • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 4 green lettuce leaves
  • 4x 1.8 oz whole wheat buns

Preheat grill. Brush chicken and pineapple with teriyaki marinade. Coat grill rack with cooking spray, then place chicken and pineapple on grill. Grill 3-4 min on each side, or until chicken is done and pineapple is carmelized.

Combine mayo and red pepper - set aside.

Place 1 lettuce leaf on each bun, top with 1 chicken breast and one slice pineapple. Spread 1 TB mayo on top halves of buns, place top half on sandwich.

Yield: 4 servings, 7 points each (328 cal, 10.2 g fat, 6.1g fiber)
