Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
• ¼ 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

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Foil
Cut two large pieces of aluminum foil and place them flat on your work surface.

Step 3: Season the Chicken
Place each chicken breast in the center of a foil piece. Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Add the Vegetables and Pineapple
Top each chicken breast with pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, carrot slices, and zucchini.

Step 5: Pour the Sauce
Drizzle teriyaki sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring they’re well coated.

Step 6: Seal the Packets
Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing tightly to create a foil packet.

Step 7: Bake
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 8: Serve
Carefully open each foil packet (watch out for steam!) and garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy straight from the foil for easy cleanup or transfer to a plate for presentation.

Notes

• Add your favorite vegetables — broccoli, snap peas, or baby corn all work beautifully.
• For a smoky twist, cook the packets on a grill instead of in the oven.
