Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6–7 oz each)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2–3 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush with half the teriyaki sauce.
- In a bowl, toss bell peppers, broccoli, pineapple, and red onion with the remaining teriyaki sauce.
- Tear 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil and lightly grease the centers.
- Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet. Top evenly with the vegetable mixture.
- Fold foil over ingredients to create sealed packets.
- Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 30–35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- Carefully open packets, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for a juicier result.
- Canned pineapple is a great substitute—just drain well.
- Grill packets over medium heat for 15–20 minutes instead of baking.
- Swap in other veggies like zucchini or snap peas for variety.
- For extra flavor, drizzle more teriyaki sauce over the cooked packets.
