Luau Chicken Sandwiches

What a fun sandwich and I just loved the Dijon dill mayo. After reading some of the reviews about not being able to taste the marinade, I decided to marinade the meat overnight. (I think it's worth mentioning that the marinade itself is merely sweetened pineapple juice and isn't loaded with a ton of seasonings.) The chicken turned out very moist and juicy with a subtle hint of pineapple sweetness. It was so good that we ate half of the chicken before it was even served. As a sandwich, the grilled pineapple and yummy dijon dressing made for a perfect combination of sweetness mixed with a little tang.

These were incredible! I chose to marinate the chicken overnight (prepared after dinner the night before, so they marinated 24 hours) and they were phenomenal. Everyone really loved the sauce as well. Highly recommend this recipe.

This was so good...my famly ate it up! I will definitely make this recipe again.

I thought this was just OK. I didn't have a grill so I pan fried the chicken and poured the marinade over it after marinating the chicken all day. I cooked the chicken for four minutes on each side and it came out tender but I didn't taste any of the marinade which was a shame. I pan fried the pineaple ring first which really was all that I tasted on this sandwich. Also, the roll I used was too small for a large, thick piece of chicken. I would flatten the chicken before marinating next time and cut it in half, and use a heartier bread that is larger. My husband enjoyed this sandwich more than I did but he, too, found it difficult to eat because of the size. I served it with an artichoke dip & pita chips which went over better than the actual sandwich.

didn't change a thing.

The marinade didn't add much pineapple flavor. I didn't like the grilled pineapple on the sandwich, it seemed really mushy to me. Just not for me. Will not make again.

After reading everyone's reviews on the marinade I decided to add a 1/4 tsp of ground ginger and 1/4 cup pear juice and let it marinade for 6 hours before grilling. Yum!

Great recipe, very easy to prepare and cook. My girlfriend and I loved it, and I think it will easily make its way into the regular menu rotation at our place.

This was very good. I wasn't able to grill the chicken or pineapple so I think it will be even better grilled. Next time will grill for sure. I thought the dill/mayo sauce sounded kind-of weird to pair with the pineapple but it was great. In stead of mayo I used fat free plain yogurt. Very good!

My sister gave me this recipe years ago. It's a big hit and a nice change from burgers. They're great with fresh pineapple slices. I like to go heavy on the dill in my sauce(I probably double the sauce and add 1 to 2 tsp dill and less mustard). Also, someone commented on how large the chicken breasts were for a sandwich. I slice a breast diagonally into about 3 slices for a large breast and end up with small bun size pieces. Also, sometimes (OK MOST of the time) I don't remember to marinate so I just sprinkle the chicken with a little garlic, salt and brown sugar on each side then grill. Just as delicious...maybe even better. They're also good with tomato and cheese on the sandwich. ENJOY!

Delicious! I did modify the recipe a bit b/c I can't get the grill out due to all of the snow! I baked the chicken in the oven at 375 for 30 min in the marinade. The chicken was amazing, it had a great flavor and was super juicy. I also used fresh pineapple (Using canned juice in the marinade) and we added a little bit of sliced onion and a sprinkle of extra sharp white cheddar cheese to the buns with I broiled in the oven with the pineapple slice until toasted. I wasn't much of a fan of the dill sauce (we are not mayo eaters so I subed lite sour cream), but this is just personal preference, I'm not much of a fan of dill. We will definetly be making these on a regular basis. Thanks for the recipe!

marinade is good...easy

Nice and tasty. Unfortunately, as others pointed out, you can hardly taste the marinade. I had an extra piece of meat, refrigerated it, and then ate it the next day and it tasted just like plain chicken.

The first time I made this, I just made the chicken as a main dish w/o the bun (still served each piece w/ a pineapple ring, and dollop of dill sauce- inside of the ring- on top), not only was it a pretty presentation, my hubby raved about the taste to everyone for days. Once I explained to him that the recipe actually had the chicken on a bun, he was officially won over, as he thought it would make an awesome sandwich (my guys are avid chicken sandwich eaters - me, not so much). I've made it both ways ever since, and it's always a quick and easy "go-to" recipe.

The girls request this all the time. I put them on italian sweet rolls. Marinating these overnight is the best, and a little creole seasoning right before grilling.

This was a huge hit with my 7 and 5 year old and husband. It ended up being too windy to grill so I had to cook them in a pan and they turned out well. I would flatten the breast a little next time with a mallet as the sugars were starting to burn while I was cooking it all the way through. Plus then the breast would fit the buns. ***I did this again with salmon and topped with the dijon mayo. Delish!

These sandwiches were great! So easy and I only marinated for a short time. Can't imagine how good if the chx marinated longer...I added crispy bacon and melted muenster cheese for my hungry teenage sons. They loved 'em!!! Thx much ;)

Wow! This was amazingly good and good for you. The dressing is a must, I even used reduced fat mayo. Very simply to make. I have added this to my favorites and make it often. Thank you!

Very good! The sandwiches were gone in no time.

These were absolutely delicious and the marinade gave the chicken a wonderful flavor!

Awesome sandwich. I used my George Forman grill for the chicken and pineapple, turned out very moist!

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out really good!

These are simple and really tasty. I have made them a number of times for family events, and my father-in-law in particular is head-over-heels about them. Really good.

I made this and now my fiance can't get enough of these sandwiches. He absolutely loves them as they are. Thanks for the recipe!!

Awesome sandwiches, made these as sliders (cut the chicken in to 4 pieces) love them!!! I was a little worried the dill would be over-powering, but it compliments the pineapple well! I wish the flavor of the marinade came through a little more.
