Instructions
Prepare the Packets:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill to medium-high.
-
Cut 4 large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12 inches each).

In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with teriyaki sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
-
Divide the pineapple chunks, bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and green onions evenly among the foil sheets.
-
Add the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables.
Seal and Cook:
6. Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal the edges tightly to form packets.
7. Place the packets on a baking sheet (for oven) or directly on the grill.
8. Bake for 25 minutes or grill for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F/75°C).
Serve:
9. Carefully open the packets (watch for steam!).
10. Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds (optional) and serve hot.
