Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Foil Packets

These Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Foil Packets are a deliciously simple meal, combining tender chicken, sweet pineapple, and vibrant veggies for a perfect weeknight dinner! 🍍🍗✨

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
    • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
    • 1 cup snap peas or green beans
    • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Cooked rice, for serving (optional)
    • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

    Instructions

    1. Preheat Oven or Grill: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill.
    2. Prepare Foil Packets: Cut large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches). Lay them flat on a clean surface.
    3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper, snap peas, teriyaki sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper until everything is well coated.
    4. Assemble Packets: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the foil pieces. Fold the edges of the foil to create sealed packets, making sure they are tightly closed.
    5. Cook: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet (if using the oven) or directly on the grill. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
    6. Serve: Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) and serve the chicken and pineapple mixture over cooked rice, if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy! 🍍🍗❤️

    Tips for the Perfect Foil Packets:

    • Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like zucchini, broccoli, or carrots for added nutrition.
