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.
