  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a resealable plastic bag, combine chicken breasts with 3/4 cup of teriyaki sauce. Seal and refrigerate to marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat Your Grill or Oven: Set your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. Seal the Packets: Fold and seal the foil packets, leaving space for heat circulation.
  6. Cook: Grill or bake the packets for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Serve with Garnish: Open the packets carefully to avoid steam. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro before serving.
