Ingredients

For the Chicken and Vegetables:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven or grill:

    • For oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C).

    • For grill: Heat to medium-high.

  • Prepare the foil packets: Lay two 12-inch sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Place one chicken breast in the center of each sheet.

  • Add the vegetables and pineapple:

    • Divide the pineapple chunks and red bell pepper slices evenly between the packets, placing them around the chicken.

  • Drizzle with sauce and oil:

    • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

  • Seal the packets: Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, crimping the edges to create a well-sealed packet.

  • Cook the packets:

    • In the oven: Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

    • On the grill: Grill the packets for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  • Serve: Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of the hot steam, and serve the chicken with vegetables and pineapple. Pair with rice or a side salad.

Notes

Frozen Chicken: You can use frozen chicken, but ensure it is thawed completely before use. Additional cooking time may be needed.

Vegetable Add-ins: Feel free to add vegetables like zucchini, onions, or snap peas to the foil packets for extra flavor.

Make Ahead: Prepare the foil packets in advance and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before cooking.
