I have been to Sizzler twice in my life, both of which were either a disaster or hilarious!
I remember my grandparents taking my sisters and me to Sizzler when I was really young and ended up getting sick . . . so that wasn’t the best experience.
The next time I went to Sizzler was my junior year in high school. I was asked to a dance by someone other than who I wanted to go with.
He was so, so nice but it was a very awkward evening.
While sitting quietly and uncomfortably at my table, I look out the window to see my Mom and a few of my sisters spying on me! Literally peeking in the window!
I don’t know if I can muster up the courage for another trip to Sizzler anytime soon, so I thought we would try to make a version of their Malibu Chicken at home.
We love grilled chicken and this is one of our favorite recipes. 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!
