Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat grill or oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat.
- Assemble Packets: Cut four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Evenly divide the chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion among the foil sheets. Drizzle any remaining marinade over each packet. Fold foil over the mixture and seal tightly to form a packet.
- Cook: Place foil packets on the grill or in the oven and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Carefully open packets (watch for steam), garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki mixture for 30 minutes before assembling packets.
- Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
