Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces Boneless and skinless chicken breasts Can substitute with tofu or tempeh for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce Try a low-sodium version if you're watching your salt intake.

  • 1 cup Lettuce Use your favorite type, like romaine or butter lettuce.
  • 1 large Tomato, sliced Adds a juicy freshness.
  • 1/4 cup Mayo Vegan mayo can make a wonderful swap.

Grilling

Notes

Feel free to swap chicken for grilled shrimp or marinate tofu for a vegan version. For a different flavor, use barbecue sauce instead of teriyaki. Make ahead by marinating chicken or grilling in advance.
