Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich

Photo taken by my oldest Cherub

A grilled chicken sandwich sounded so good!

I see them on restaurant menus but I never make them at home.

I'm not sure why -- maybe I'm intimidated by the task.

In an effort to satisfy my craving, I ventured out of my comfort zone

and made this:

A delicious grilled chicken teriyaki sandwich!

Here's what I did:

Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded out to similar thickness

1 bottle of your favorite teriyaki sauce (I used La Choy Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce)

1-2 onions, sliced thick

4 Hawaiian Hamburger buns

Mayonnaise

1 small can crushed pineapple, well drained

lettuce or spinach leaves

In a shallow dish, pour desired amount of teriyaki sauce over chicken and allow to marinate 2-3 hours our longer (I always go longer!).

In another shallow dish, place a thin layer of sauce in the dish and place the thick sliced onions on top of the marinade turning to coat. Allow to sit until ready to grill.

Take desired amount of mayonnaise into a small bowl and mix in a couple of tablespoons of well drained pineapple. Stir until well combined, set aside. You'll use the reamaining crushed pineapple on the sandwiches.

Grill chicken until done. The last 5 minutes or so of the chicken cooking, place the coated onions on the grill and cook until tender. The amount of doneness on the onions is to your taste.

Split the Hawaiian hamburger rolls in half and smear the bottom half with desired amount of pineapple mayonnaise. Toast rolls (heating the mayonnaise mixture just a bit).

Top the toasted buns with a chicken breast, a bit of crushed pineapple, some spinach leaves, followed by some delicious grilled onions. Place the top bun on and cut in half!

This is a juicy . . .and messy sandwich, but it's worth licking your fingers for!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
