Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Foil Packets are a quick, flavorful meal where chicken, pineapple, and vegetables are baked together in foil with a teriyaki sauce, locking in juices and sweetness. 🍍🍗
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 2 Chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Bell peppers, chopped
- ¼ cup Teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp Ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Assemble Foil Packets
- Lay out foil sheets and spray lightly with cooking oil or brush with a little oil.
- Divide chicken, pineapple, and bell peppers evenly onto each sheet.
- Drizzle teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and ginger over the ingredients.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fold foil over the top and seal edges tightly to make packets.
3. Bake
- Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
4. Serve
- Open carefully (steam will escape!) and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve with Steamed rice or noodles.
✅ Tips for Best Results
- Add thinly sliced onions or zucchini for extra veggies.
- For a smoky flavor, cook packets on a grill instead of the oven.
- Marinate chicken in teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before assembling for deeper flavor.
