Description
A delicious chicken and pineapple sandwich melted with cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts without skin or bones
- 1 cup tangy BBQ sauce (split in half)
- 8 slices of thick bread (like sourdough)
- 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 12 thin pineapple strips (fresh or canned)
- Butter for spreading
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and cover with ½ cup of BBQ sauce. Bake for 20 minutes until cooked.
- Shred the chicken and mix it with the remaining ½ cup of BBQ sauce.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread and place them buttered side down. On four slices, add ¼ cup cheese, a quarter of the chicken mix, and 3 pineapple slices. Top with another ¼ cup cheese and place the remaining slices on top, buttered side up.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and spray with nonstick spray. Cook two sandwiches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat for the remaining sandwiches. Slice and serve hot.
Notes
