Foil Packet Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Recipe
Description
This recipe prepares individual foil packets featuring boneless chicken breasts topped with diced bell peppers and pineapple rings. The protein and vegetables are coated with a barbecue-soy sauce blend seasoned simply with salt and pepper. The foil packets seal in moisture, allowing the chicken to cook evenly while the pineapple infuses sweetness into the dish.
Cooking takes place either on a grill or campfire for 20 to 25 minutes or in an oven at 425°F for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. This method produces tender, juicy chicken with lightly softened peppers and warmed pineapple slices.
The dish is convenient for outdoor cooking and provides a mix of savory, sweet, and slightly tangy flavors, combining the smoky barbecue with the tropical fruit. It can be served directly from the packets for easy cleanup or plated alongside rice or salad.
