Chicken and Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Sautéing Onions and Pineapple

  1. 5

    Sauté the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and sauté the onions until they are soft and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Grill the Pineapple

    On the same grill, add the pineapple rings and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread 2 tablespoons of house BBQ sauce on each bun. Place the grilled chicken with melted Swiss cheese on the bottom bun, followed by the grilled pineapple, sautéed onions, and lettuce. Top with the other half of the bun.
