Teriyaki chicken sandwich recipe

I love making these teriyaki chicken sandwiches when I want something quick but still feel like I’m cooking something fun.

I marinate chicken breasts in a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce — overnight when I’m on top of things, a couple hours when I’m not — and grill them until they’re juicy and caramelized. I always throw pineapple rings on the grill too, because they pick up that smoky char and add the perfect bright, tropical bite.

Pile everything onto a bun with Swiss cheese and a smear of mayo, add your favorite toppings, and it’s instantly summer on a plate.

Why I keep coming back to this sandwich:

• It’s easy but feels special.
• The grilled pineapple + teriyaki combo is ridiculously good.
• You can load it up with any toppings you love.
• It works for weeknights, cookouts, or whenever you want something satisfying without a lot of work.
