Total time: 35 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs); 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, plus extra for serving; 2 tablespoons honey; 1 tablespoon rice vinegar; 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 4 brioche burger buns, split and lightly toasted; 1 cup shredded lettuce; 1 large ripe tomato, sliced; 1 avocado, sliced; 1/4 cup mayonnaise; 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (optional); 1/4 cup sliced red onion; 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the marinade

In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside 2 tablespoons for basting during cooking.
Marinate the chicken

Place chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and massage to ensure chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Prepare the spicy mayo

While chicken is marinating, mix mayonnaise with sriracha sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Grill the chicken

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last few minutes of cooking, brush with reserved marinade for extra flavor and glaze.
Toast the buns

While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill for about 30 seconds, or until they have light grill marks and are warm.
Assemble the sandwiches

Spread spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, grilled chicken breast, avocado slices, and red onion. Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce if desired and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Top with the other half of the bun.
