Chicken and Bacon Jerk Sandwiches

 

We found this recipe over at Family Favorite Recipes but instead made them into sandwiches.

They are incredibly yummy....you will LOVE them :)

4 - 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 package bacon
1 bottle KC Masterpiece Spiced Caribbean Jerk Marinade
1 small can pineapple rings
4-6 Kaiser rolls

In large zip lock bag, add chicken and enough marinade to generously coat chicken. In another large zip lock bag, add bacon with enough marinade to coat.

Refrigerate overnight.

Grill chicken, only turning once. Usually about 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Add bacon to grill after you've turned the chicken over. Bacon cooks a lot faster than the chicken.

Grill Kaiser rolls, just until slightly browned. Grill pineapple rings.

Place chicken, bacon and pineapple on Kaiser rolls.  YUM!
