Pineapple Slices

Instructions
1
Begin by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts in a glass dish.
2
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, ensuring that each breast is thoroughly coated. Turn the chicken to cover all sides with the sauce.
3
Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
4
Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
5
Cook the marinated chicken breasts for approximately 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 170°F (75°C). If using a George Foreman grill, cook for about 7-8 minutes.
6
To check if the chicken is fully cooked, pierce it with a knife; the juices should run clear, and the meat should no longer be pink inside.
7
While the chicken is cooking, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the top and bottom of each hamburger bun.
8
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and place one breast on each bun.
9
Garnish each burger with a slice of grilled pineapple.
