INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb cooked, shredded chicken

  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 1/2″-thick slices of pineapple
  • 4 King’s Hawaiian hamburger buns
  • coleslaw, optional (recipe below)

DIRECTIONS:

  • Combine barbeque sauce and pineapple juice in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the shredded chicken, tossing to coat, and cover. Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over high heat. Place the pineapple slices in the pan, and cook for a couple of minutes on each side, to slightly soften the pineapple and obtain grill marks. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Split the burger buns in half, and lightly toast them in the grill pan.
  • Pile the barbequed chicken on the bun, topping with the grilled pineapple, and coleslaw if desired.
