Aloha Chicken Burgers

  4.6 – 72 reviews  • Chicken Breast

Celeriac sticks that have been baked make a delicious side dish or even a snack on their own. A spicy homemade ketchup pairs well with the mild celery flavor. To get the crispiest fries, I tried two different techniques, and this was my favorite. I served it with my own ketchup prepared with harissa.

Additional Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins
Servings: 2
Yield: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

  1. 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  2. ¼ cup soy sauce
  3. 3 slices thick cut bacon
  4. 2 large hamburger buns, split
  5. 1 tablespoon softened butter
  6. ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
  7. 2 slices Swiss cheese
  8. 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  9. 2 slices pineapple
  10. 2 slices tomato
  11. 2 slices of iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts into a plastic zipper bag with soy sauce, seal the bag, and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes. While chicken is marinating, place bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, occasionally turning until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside. Spread cut sides of hamburger buns with butter.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  3. Remove chicken from soy sauce, and discard excess soy sauce. Place chicken breasts onto the preheated grill, and grill until chicken shows good grill marks, is no longer pink inside, and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. When chicken is almost done, brush each piece generously on both sides with teriyaki sauce to finish grilling. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, and cover with a lid to help cheese melt onto chicken.
  4. While chicken is grilling, spread buns open on the grill and cook until toasted and showing grill lines, about 2 minutes. Set buns aside.
  5. To assemble, spread grilled sides of each bun with mayonnaise, and top each bottom bun with a cooked chicken breast, 1 1/2 slices of bacon, a slice of pineapple, a slice from a head of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and top bun.
  6. If you don’t want to grill, loosely roll up marinated chicken breast with teriyaki sauce in foil, and bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20 minutes. Then open foil, and melt cheese on top.
  7. Please note differences in ingredient amounts and bun type if using the magazine version of this recipe.

A little salty

Cooked the chicken in the crockpot with low sodium soy sauce and brown sugar, chicken fell apart somewhat so I brushed them with teriyaki sauce and cheese, place on foil and melted cheese in the oven. Sprinkled pineapple rings with brown sugar and grilled them. Followed all other steps exactly. My family loved it and will make these again.

Hubby gave it a 4 & I think it is a 5 star. Will make again but with these changes. We’ll probably use can slice pineapple or if a fresh one slice a lot thinner. We’ll also cu breast in half for thinner pieces & share a chicken breast. With a full breast, even sliced for easier grilling it was to much. The fresh sliced pineapple was also to think so everything slid around & was way to messy. We took others suggestion & used 1/8c soy sauce & 1/8c plus of pineapple juice. Initially I thought the marinade was to overpowering with soy sauce. We’ll have to cut the marinade to compensate for using the 1 chicken breast. Like others you may want to add a tish of brown sugar.

This was delicious!!!!!
Theresa Baldwin
Awesome. I did add a little bit of brown sugar to the soy sauce as most reviewers also had. Thanks for sharing
Stacy Maddox
I made these at a family cookout and got rave reviews. It makes a huge sandwich. I served it with a Hawaiian Mac salad I found on the internet.
Heather Johnson
Easy to make and very tasty! Followed the recipe, added brown sugar to the soy sauce, as others had suggested and to the pineapple as it grilled. YUM! Only other change I made was to cook the bacon in the oven, as I was making double of the recipe. Everyone in the family loved it!
Jesse Watkins
Pretty good! Made it on the stove. I sliced the chicken into strips to cook faster. Put olive oil and a little soy sauce in the bottom of the pan and cooked the chicken on med hi heat, last 10 mins put some teriyaki sause on them. Turned out great!
Laura Rogers
My family really enjoyed this. We grilled the chicken and also placed the buns and pineapple slices on the grill. We followed the recipe, and everything together was great. Thanks for the recipe, we will make again.
Anthony King
This was very good! My husband had two for dinner.
Melissa Chang
Absolutely delicious only change i made was i added grilled onions.
Shelley Edwards
Quick, and great! Made a double recipe, the family loved it! Soy sauce alone for a marinade would have been too salty, so I cut it with 1 Tbs brown sugar and a 1/3 cup of pineapple juice. I halved and tenderized my chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer as well. That helped result in a very tender chicken fillet. Will make again!
John Odom
Very easy and very delicious. The only substitution I made was Heinz 57 instead of the teriyaki sauce.
Debra Logan
Pretty good! Next time, make sure chicken pieces are thin (cut thicker pieces in half top-to-bottom), as there’s so much stacked on these that they’re hard to eat). Yummy served with apple cole slaw!
Raymond Briggs
My goodness these were good. Threw the pineapple slices on the grill also about 5 minutes before the breasts were done. Served with all the condiments listed – juicy, flavorful, fantastic.
Megan Lewis
I added brown sugar to the soy as recommended by other reviews and this turned out delicious! Will definitely make again!
Miranda Gallegos
It was very good. I marinated in terryiaki sauce for a few hours and then added the soy when chicken was almost done being grilled. Excellent. My family of 5 was extremely satisfied!
