Sometimes we all need a little nudge to stop and enjoy a burger from time to time. However, I will say this. As enjoyable as eating two hamburgers was, it is not a healthy way of eating on a regular basis. A healthier yet tasty alternative is this Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Sandwich. It’s a lot like eating a specialty burger but the chicken breasts makes it healthier. That’s my story and I am sticking to it, so enjoy the recipe below.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, filleted
- 1 packet KC Masterpiece Sweet Honey BBQ Sauce & Dry Rub
- ⅔ c. pineapple juice
- 4 slices pineapple, grilled
- 4 slices red onion
- 4 large pieces lettuce
- 4 burger buns
Directions
-
Rub 2 tablespoons of the dry rub onto both sides of the filleted chicken breasts. Grill or cook in a greased skillet until cooked throughout (or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees).
-
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining dry rub and the pineapple juice, mix until a thick sauce forms. Brush genrously over the cooked chicken.
-
To assemble the sandwiches, place half of the lettuce on the bottom half of the bun, then add the chicken, followed by the pineapple, red onion, remaining lettuce and the top of the bun. Enjoy hot.
