For the Packets

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small red onion, cut into chunks
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Teriyaki Sauce

• ½ cup (120 ml) teriyaki sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Garnish

• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Preheat

• Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
• Grill: Preheat to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

2. Make the Sauce

• In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

3. Assemble the Packets

• Cut four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Divide the chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, onion, and broccoli evenly among the foil sheets.
• Drizzle with the olive oil.
• Spoon the teriyaki sauce evenly over each packet.

4. Seal

• Fold the foil over the ingredients and crimp the edges tightly to create sealed packets.

5. Cook

Oven:

• Place the packets on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Grill:

• Grill for 18–22 minutes, turning once halfway through.

6. Serve

• Carefully open the packets, as hot steam will escape.
• Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
• Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice.

Tips

• Cut the chicken and vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
• Use chicken thighs for extra juicy results.
• Add snap peas, carrots, or zucchini for more vegetables.
• Double-wrap the packets if cooking over a campfire.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
