# Steps:
01 -
Combine barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, and Sriracha in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and ensure even coating. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
02 -
Remove marinated chicken, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Lightly coat pineapple slices with cooking spray. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken breasts and pineapple rings for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and pineapple has grill marks.
03 -
Transfer leftover marinade to a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Use as a finishing sauce for the sandwiches.

Layer the grilled chicken onto each hamburger roll, then top with grilled pineapple, sliced red onion, jalapeno, mixed greens, and a drizzle of the reduced barbecue sauce before serving.

Marinating the chicken overnight will further enhance flavor and tenderness.
