Tickle your palate with a taste of the tropics. Pineapple has a natural juiciness that gives this sandwich an irresistible taste. The fruit also offers a healthy reason for indulging: It's a high source of vitamin C. Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
cooking spray |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes) |
4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices fresh pineapple |
4 (1.5-ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns, toasted |
light mayonnaise (optional) |
4 large basil leaves |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until done, brushing occasionally with lime juice. Grill pineapple 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned.
3. Spread mayonnaise on bottom halves of buns, if desired. Top each with 1 chicken breast half, 1 pineapple slice, 1 basil leaf, and 1 bun top. Serve immediately.
