Hawaiian Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Recipes

HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts in half and pound them to about a 1/2" thickness. Place the chicken in a gallon size Ziploc bag and add the soy sauce, Tabasco sauce, brown sugar, dijon mustard, and the juice from the can of pineapple. Seal the bag and squeeze to combine and coat the chicken. Place in the refrigerator and marinate 6-24 hours.
• Preheat your grill for medium high heat. Grill the chicken for 12-14 minutes, flipping once halfway through the cooking time. Add the pineapple rings to the grill when you turn the chicken. Flip the pineapple rings over after 3 minutes. When you flip the pineapple rings over, add a slice to cheese over each piece of chicken. Everything from the grill when the chicken is done.
• Toast the buns, if desired, and then smear each bun lightly with mayo. Add a piece of chicken and a pineapple ring (or two). Enjoy!

GRILLED HAWAIIAN CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Mix together the barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade letting excess drip off. Spray the pineapple slices with cooking spray. Grill the chicken and pineapple for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. For thinner chicken, cook less time on each side.
• Meanwhile, pour the excess marinade into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and let cook 4-5 minutes until slightly reduced. Serve drizzled on the sandwiches.
• Serve layered on the hamburger roll with sliced red onion, fresh jalapeno, greens, grilled pineapple, and a drizzle of the homemade barbecue sauce.

GRILLED HAWAIIANS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Place up to 4 of the slices of bread, butter side down in the skillet. Top each piece with one slice of cheese, two slices of ham, and about 2 tablespoons of the crushed pineapple. Place remaining slices of bread on top with the butter side up. When the bottom of the sandwich is golden brown, flip sandwiches, and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Repeat steps with remaining ingredients if all four sandwiches do not fit in your skillet.

HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Arrange the pineapple and tomato slices on the prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes, or until the surfaces appear dry but not yet browned, turning the pieces over halfway through. Remove from the oven; set aside.
• Heat a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
• Spread the butter on one side of each bread slice, dividing it evenly. Place two of the bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean cutting board. Layer two slices of the fontina, half of the ham, three or four slices of the roasted tomato, one or two rings of roasted pineapple, and half of the mozzarella on top of each. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes (if using). Finish with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
• Using a wide spatula, place both sandwiches in the pan, cover, and cook until the bottoms are nicely browned, about four minutes. Turn carefully and cook until the second sides are browned, the cheese is melted, and the other ingredients are heated, through, about four minutes longer.
• Cut the sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve immediately.

GRILLED HAWAIIAN CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces into a large resealable bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
• Grill the chicken pieces until cooked through, about 10 minutes, turning once. 5 minutes before they are done, place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for a couple of minutes per side. Place the pineapple slices on top of the pieces of chicken and top with a slice of cheese. Close the lid to the grill and allow the cheese to melt for a minute. Toast the buns, if desired.
• To assemble the sandwiches, place the chicken, pineapple and cheese onto the bottom buns. Top with lettuce and tomato. Spread the thousand island dressing onto the top buns and place onto the sandwiches.
