Things you need / need to do:
Chicken breast - Clean, get rid of skin etc - make sure it's lean :) Marinade it with teriyaki sauce (I used Kikkoman's) for at least 1/2 hour. My ratio will be 1 chicken breast : 1 spoon sauce. Then arrange on tray and pop into oven.
Pineapple - you might want to use fresh ones, but being the lazy person I am, I used the canned ones (ring form - not cubed) :) Drain well, arrange on wire rack and pop into oven above the chicken. The excess juice will drop on your chicken and makes it absorb a pineapple-y taste.
Yogurt - for dressing. I opted to use yogurt instead of the normal mayo because there's such a wide variety of choice available which are fat free. Choose one of those fruity ones that goes with the tropical theme - I used NESTLÉ® FAT FREE YOGURT Tropical & Mixed Fruits. You will need ample amount of these as chicken breast tends to be dry.
Green lettuces, tomato etc... - I was out on tomotoes so used my greens only.
Burger buns - I opt for these instead of your normal bread just so it's consistent with the ring shape of the pineapples :) Any bread will do. Do like you'd normally do for a burger bun - spread butter and heat up (or in my case - char!) in pan.
Assemble: lower half of bun + greens + good big dallop of yogurt + chicken + pineapple + top half of bun.
Now, on the chicken - you may opt to just put the whole meat on, or, like me, you can opt to slice them up - just so it's easier to eat in the office - if you're making this at home, by all means, just put the whole slab of chicken on!
This is a great idea if you're working on a barbeque / grill. Just make some extras for sandwiches on the next day. After all, that's what sandwiches are for - to use up (purposely done) leftovers! :)
Without further adieu, I present you... Chicken Pineapple Sandwich (do not be fooled by those tiny slices, I just wanted to show you the layers. Heaps more were put on after this pix!! haha)
One more day to the weekend peeps!
