Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Foil Packets are a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for summer barbecues or quick weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Aluminum foil (for wrapping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long.
- Place a chicken breast in the center of each piece of foil and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the sliced bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger among the foil packets. Top with fresh pineapple chunks.
- Drizzle about 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce over each chicken breast and toppings.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the packets tightly.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the packets from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then open carefully and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with firm tofu.
- Use coconut aminos instead of teriyaki sauce for a soy-free version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place packets in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce for a few hours before assembling.
