Grilled Malibu Chicken

 Got this from Six Sisters Stuff  http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/05/grilled-malibu-chicken-recipe.html

"The chicken breasts are marinated in a dry rub, smothered in a pineapple mustard sauce and topped with ham, swiss cheese and a pineapple ring.  You can serve on a plate or on a bun for a delicious sandwich!"  

I just made this on my George Forman but it would be even better on a real grill.  We enjoyed it but I definitely think I will tweak it a little bit every time that I make it just to get it just how we like it.

We just ate it by itself, but I think it would be delicious how they suggested on a bun as a sandwich.  

Grilled Malibu Chicken Recipe:
Ingredients:
6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
12 slices deli ham (thin)
6 slices canned pineapple
6 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup pineapple juice (I just used the juice drained from my canned pineapple)
4 Tbl. unsalted butter, melted
2 Tbl. BBQ seasoning (I used Famous Dave's)
1 Tbl. plain yellow mustard
1 Tbl. honey
1 Tbl. molasses  (I just used brown sugar)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp chili powder
Directions:
Put a breast in a gallon zip-top bag and pound the thick end until the entire breast is uniform in thickness, then move to a platter or rimmed sheet pan.  Repeat with the remaining breasts.  Season both sides of each breast with the BBQ seasoning, cover and refrigerate at least an hour.
Combine the butter, pineapple juice, mustard, honey, molasses, Worcestershire sauce and chili powder a medium mixing bowl and whisk until smooth, then set aside.
Grill one side of each breast and each pineapple ring over direct heat until they are seared and have nice grill marks, about 2 minutes.  Flip each breast and ring, brush with the sauce, and cook another two minutes. Move the chicken to the indirect part of the grill and brush the top of each with the sauce.
Top each breast with two slices of ham and drizzle the ham with the sauce.
Put a slice of cheese then a pineapple ring on each breast and drizzle again with the sauce.
Continue cooking with the grill lid down until the internal temperature reaches 160º, about 10 minutes.
