Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 g large boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
Produce
  • 1.5 cups fresh pineapple chunks or canned, drained
  • 1 g red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 g yellow bell pepper chopped
  • 0.5 g red onion sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
Sauce
  • 0.25 cups teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp ginger powder
Other
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions for garnish
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Aluminum Foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat up your grill to medium heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
  3. Add the chopped chicken pieces to the sauce and let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
  4. Tear four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches each).
  5. Divide the chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, red onion, and broccoli evenly among the four foil sheets.
  6. Drizzle each packet with olive oil, then pour the remaining teriyaki sauce mixture over the top.
  7. Season with a little salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal the edges tightly to create a packet (make sure it’s fully closed to trap steam).
  9. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet if cooking in the oven, or directly on the grill grates.
  10. Oven: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
  11. Grill: Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through.
  12. Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
  13. Serve directly from the foil or transfer to plates. Enjoy with a side of steamed rice or quinoa!
