Ingredients

  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 4 Sandwich Buns- I used Brioche buns
  • Pineapple Slices - grilled if desired

For the Marinade

  • 3 Tbsp Jerk Seasoning
  • 2 tsp Minced Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Lime Juice

For the Coleslaw

  • ¾ Cup Mayo
  • 3 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 3 Cup Coleslaw Mix

Instructions

To Marinade the Chicken

  • Pour the olive oil into a medium size bowl. Add in the lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic and jerk seasoning. Stir well until everything is well mixed. This a thick marinade, almost like a wet rub so it will be thick.
    3 Tbsp Jerk Seasoning, 2 tsp Minced Garlic, 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos, 2 Tbsp Olive Oil, 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
  • Place the chicken in a large zip top bag and pour the marinade over. Close the bag and knead to cover the chicken evenly with the marinade. Place in the fridge and marinate for 8 hours or overnight. If possible flip the chicken half way through the marinating time so it is evenly seasoned.

To Cook the Chicken

  • The chicken can be cooked in a skillet or on a grill. Lightly oil your surface and heat to medium high heat. Place the chicken on your cooking surface and cook 4-5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. The internal temperature should be 165when taken with a meat thermometer. Set aside.

To Grill the Pineapple

  • Lightly oil the grill. Over a medium/high flame grill the pineapple for 2-3 minutes, flip and continue grilling for another 3-5 minutes or until grill marks appear and the fruit is warm and tender.
