Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until they are an even thickness.
Slice any extra large chicken breasts in half. Place the chicken breasts in a large dish and coat with teriyaki sauce. Allow to marinate for one hour.
Place the chicken breasts on a heated barbecue grill or grill pan on the stove. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink inside.
Brush buns with olive oil and toast on the grill. Grill the pineapple slices as well, if desired.
Spread Mayonnaise or Garlic Aioli on the bottom bun {optional, but delicious}. Top with chicken breast, slice of cheese and a grilled pineapple slice.
Top with lettuce, tomato, and onion rings. Spread additional teriyaki sauce on the top bun and place it on the sandwich.

For a super fast meal, use store-bought teriyaki sauce, buns, and canned pineapple slices.
When you flatten the chicken breasts it is only to even them out so they cook evenly, not to make them super thin.
I personally like mayonnaise on my sandwiches but I leave that up to you.
When you have more time on your hands you might want to try my Homemade Teriyaki Sauce and Hamburger Buns.
