Method
 

Preparation and Grilling
  1. Combine diced pineapple, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Grill chicken cutlets on medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side. Brush with teriyaki glaze during the last 2 minutes.
  3. Place pineapple rings on the grill until caramelized. Top chicken with Swiss cheese and melt.
  4. Smear mayo on toasted brioche buns. Layer lettuce, chicken, grilled pineapple, and a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa.

Notes

Ensure your grill is very hot before adding the chicken to get professional char marks.
Always toast your buns to prevent them from becoming soggy from the fruit juices.
