Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
2 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Aluminum foil for wrapping
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the foil packets: Cut two large pieces of aluminum foil and lay them flat on your countertop.
Prepare the chicken: Place each chicken breast in the center of the foil pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Top with veggies and pineapple: Top each chicken breast with pineapple chunks, red bell pepper slices, carrot slices, and zucchini slices.
Add the sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Seal the packets: Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables to create a sealed packet.
Bake: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Open and garnish: Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of the steam. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the foil packets, such as broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms, for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a smoky flavor, cook these packets on a grill instead of in the oven.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chili paste to the teriyaki sauce.
