Instructions

  • Add all the chicken marinade ingredients, except the cornstarch, in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Place the chicken in a large ziplock or bowl. Add the marinade and make sure the chicken is well covered. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least an hour but up to 8 hours.
  • Once marinated, preheat a large pan to medium heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinate and add to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. The cooking time will depend on how thick your chicken is. Do not get rid of the leftover marinade!!!
  • While the chicken cooks, add the leftover teriyaki pineapple marinade to a small pot on medium heat. Add the cornstarch & water mixture to the sauce and whisk. Turn the heat to high and bring the sauce to a boil, whisking constantly. Let it boil for about 1 minute until the sauce has thickened, continuing to whisk the entire time. Once thickened, remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Once the chicken has cooked, turn down the heat to low and brush the teriyaki pineapple sauce over the chicken. Top with provolone cheese, then cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
  • Now it's time to assemble the burgers! I added some mayo to my toasted bun along with the teriyaki pineapple chicken, red onion, pineapple, and lettuce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
