Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Foil Packets
Ingredient
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into chunks (orcanned, drained)
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the grill or oven:
If grilling, preheat to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the chicken and sauce:
In a small bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey (if using), grated ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside. -
Prepare the foil packets:
Cut 2 large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches). Place one chicken breast in the center of each piece of foil. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken. -
Assemble the foil packets:
Spoon a few chunks of pineapple over each chicken breast. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and pineapple. -
Seal the packets:
Fold up the sides of the foil and crimp the edges tightly to seal the packet, making sure no sauce leaks out. -
Cook the packets:
- Grilling: Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Baking: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
-
Serve:
Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of hot steam. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
