1. Combine the chicken and enough teriyaki sauce to cover in a resealable
plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to
12 hours.
2. Heat a grill until hot (you shouldn't be able to hold your hand above the
grates for more than 5 seconds). Remove the chicken from the marinade and place
on the grill; discard any remaining marinade. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the
first side; flip and immediately add the cheese to each breast. Continue cooking
until the cheese is melted and the chicken is lightly charred and firm to the
touch. Remove and set aside.
3. While the chicken rests, add the pineapple and the buns to the grill. Cook
the buns until they’re lightly toasted and the pineapple until it’s soft and
caramelized, about 2 minutes per side. Top each bun with chicken, red onion,
jalapeno slices, and pineapple. If you like, drizzle the chicken with a bit more
teriyaki sauce.
