How to Make Tropical Chicken Sandwiches

  1. Slice 2 chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 cutlets.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  3. Add the chicken cutlets to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. While the chicken marinates, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mango chutney, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons finely sliced green onions.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Grill pineapple rings for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear.
  6. Serve the grilled chicken on toasted rolls, topped with a grilled pineapple ring. Serve the chutney-mayo dressing on the side for dipping.
